The Skavlhø (Norwegian for snowdrift height ) is a 2610  m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the Payer group of Hoelfjella it rises north of the Ormeryggen .

The first aerial photographs were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped it on the basis of measurements and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
