Midgard Peak

Midgard Peak is a 2,807-metre mountain in British Columbia’s Valhalla Ranges, near the southern border of Valhalla Provincial Park west of Slocan and Slocan Lake. Surrounded by summits such as Asgard, Gimli, and Gladsheim, it forms part of a dramatic granite skyline shaped by a long-standing Scandinavian naming theme in the Kootenays. The name Midgard, from Norse belief as the world of human beings, was proposed in 1970 and officially adopted in 1971. The peak is the third-highest in the range, has a subarctic climate, drains into tributaries of the Slocan River, and is climbed by its North and South Ridge routes.
