Besselvassheia is a mountain in the municipality of Frøya in Trøndelag county, Norway. The 76-metre (249 ft) tall mountain is the highest point on the island of Frøya. It lies about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) west of the village of Sistranda and about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) northwest of the village of Hammarvika.

Name[]

The mountain was unnamed until the autumn of 2009 when it was given the name Besselvassheia, after the nearby lake Besselvatnet.^[2]

The well-known Norwegian Soccer trainer Drillo, also known for his interest in geography, told a local resident, Frank Angelvik, that the highest point of Frøya was unnamed.^[3] Together with Halgeir Hammer, a local guide, the naming contest was announced in September 2009. Some of the names that were runners-up were: Frøyberget, Frøytuva, Halgeirtoppen, Halgeirguten, and Besselberget.
