Far over, the Misty Mountains cold....
Where are the real life Misty Mountains? J. R. R. Tolkien was partially inspired by his own travels through the Swiss Alps in the early 1900s. Alp is etymologically related to 'alb' and 'Alf' from the PIE word meaning 'white' as we see in names like Albion or the Albigensians and the Swedish river Göta älv.
Tolkien may have also gotten his inspiration from Skírnismál in the Poetic Edda, in which the travels of Freyr's messenger Skirnir involves misty mountains (úrig fiöll), amongst other things.
