- Valenciennes Mountain is a 3,150-metre (10,335 ft) mountain summit located in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. Valenciennes Mountain is situated at the head of Valenciennes River, one kilometre west of the British Columbia-Alberta border, and the same distance outside the Banff National Park boundary. Arras Mountain is 6 km (3.7 mi) to the west, and both are in the Kootenay Land District. The peak was named in 1920 for the French town of Valenciennes, which was captured by the Allies and entered by Canadian Expeditionary Force troops on 2 November 1918 following intense fighting in World War I. The name was officially adopted in 1930 when approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. Canadian soldier Hugh Cairns was awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross for conspicuous bravery during the battle. The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1934 by H. S. Kingman and J. Monroe Thorington, with guide Rudolph Aemmer. (en)
