This ancient monastery stands high upon Skyrim’s tallest mountain, the Throat of the World [6.38]. High Hrothgar is home to the Greybeards—the legendary masters of the Voice. Many important quests intersect at this remote monastery, but you can’t enter until you’ve advanced to Main Quest: The Way of the Voice.

High Hrothgar (Interior)

Speak with the Greybeards to advance your quests here. A host of potions and ingredients are scattered about the monastery’s small interior, but anything you take is considered theft.

  • Potions aplenty

High Hrothgar Courtyard

Exit through any of the north doors to visit High Hrothgar’s frigid courtyard. The southeast stairs lead to the summit, but a raging blizzard prevents passage until you’ve advanced to Main Quest: The Throat of the World.

Enjoy the commanding view from the north ledge, then use your Ethereal Form Shout and leap off—it’s fun! Enter the courtyard’s tower for even more stunning views of Skyrim.
