The Piellorieppe massif is a complex high mountain massif between Sarvesvagge-Rapadalen and Lullihavagge-Kåtokvagge. The highest peak is Kåtokkaskatjåkkå (1978 m). In the western part of the massif there are a number of high valley passes: Lullihavagge, Kaskasvagge, and Kaskavagge, while Stuolovagge and Jeknavagge are dead end valleys. The Piellorieppe massif contains 10 glaciers, all of them rather small.

Skaitejekna (0.19 km2) is a small cirque glacier beneath the summit of Skaitetjåkkå.
Stuolotjåkkåjekna (0.36 km2) is an ice cap beneath the peaks of Stuolotjåkkå.
Stuolojekna (1.34 km2) is the largest glacier in the massif, and lies north of Kåtokkaskatjåkkå. It is a mid-sized valley glacier, and contains a few crevasse zones. Next to the upper parts of the glacier there is a pass to Nuortap Kåtokjekna at 1545 m, as well as one across to Jeknavagge at ca 1550 m. From the lower part of the glacier it is possible to get across to Rapadalen by a pass at 1410 m.
Kåtokkaskajekna (0.39 km2) is a cirque glacier south of Kåtokkaskatjåkkå.
Årjep Kåtokjekna (0.12 km2) is a tiny cirque glacier south of the Kåtoktjåkkåīs south peak.
Kaska Kåtokjekna (0.13 km2) is a tiny cirque glacier to the east of Kåtoktjåkkå.
Nuortap Kåtokjekna (0.69 km2), a small valley glacier north of Kåtoktjåkkå, seems to be basically free of crevasses. There is a pass leading to Stuolojekna at 1545 m west of the glacier.
Årjep Piellojekna (0.18 km2) is a small ice cap up on Piellorieppe Östkam. It is not plotted on the mountain map.
Lulep Piellojekna (0.19 km2), a small cirque glacier, lies in a deep cirque under Piellorieppe.
Alep Piellojekna (0.20 km2) is a small cirque glacier north of Glaciärtoppen.
