The name "Såtbakkollen" is also commonly used for the peak Tåga (elevation: 1,840 metres or 6,040 feet, prominence: 950 metres or 3,120 feet; second highest point in Trollheimen). Tåga is actually located about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) further north, probably because the name "Tåga" was missing from older maps.
