I assume you're asking if there are any *known* peaks that have still not been climbed. The answer is probably a firm NO.
There may of course be tops that no one has been to, one desolated mountain islands up in the north, but there is just no way of knowing. You can of course post a question on fjellforum.net - Norway's main forum for mountains. If you need help in this, let me know.
I assume the same thing is true for Sweden - which has much less mountains than Norway. For the wildest peaks, it's actually difficult to find a route that has NOT been climbed.
"Scandes" - he he, haven't heard that term before

The mountains in Scandinavia in my language are called simply Gory Skandynawskie, which means... guess... The Scandinavian Mountains
I found that probably the 'last first ascent' in the Tatras took place in 1952 when Tadeusz Orlowski and Wawrzyniec Zulawski climbed Ladova Straznica (Slovak)/Kapalkowa Straznica (Polish), a little needle in the Slovak part of the range. Maybe there are some small protrusions without winter ascents yet, just because no one could be bothered to drag their arses up there in winter
