Vestre Hestlægerhøe or Vestre Hestlægerhø is a mountain on the border of Vågå Municipality and Lom Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The 1,758-metre (5,768 ft) tall mountain is located in the Jotunheimen mountains within Jotunheimen National Park. The mountain sits about 40 kilometres (25 mi) southwest of the village of Vågåmo.[1][2][7][5]

The peak of Vestre Hestlægerhøe rises to a height of 1,758 metres (5,768 ft) and has a topographic prominence of 53 metres (174 ft).[2] The mountain is surrounded by several other notable mountains including Styggehøi to the west, Glittertinden to the north, and Austre Hestlægerhøe and Nautgardsoksli to the east.[8] The mountain area drains via the river Veo to the north and the river Russa to the south, both tributaries of the river Sjoa.[9]
