Arras Mountain is a 3,090-metre (10,138 ft) mountain summit located in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. Arras Mountain is situated immediately northeast of the confluence of Icefall Brook with Valenciennes River, 7.2 km (4.5 mi) east-southeast of Rostrum Peak, and 6 km (3.7 mi) west of Valenciennes Mountain, and all are in the Kootenay Land District. The peak was named in 1921 to commemorate the World War I battlefield at Arras, France, where Canadian troops fought in the first battle April 1917, and in the second battle August 1918.[6][1] The name was officially adopted in 1924 when approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[5]
