The Valley of Repose is an area in Pikmin 2. It is a snowy area that harbors few plant life aboveground, but some plants could be found in the dungeons. This is the first area of the game. You will also catch up with a group of Red Pikmin in this level and start collecting treasures.
When looking at this level at certain angles, it is seen that it is a modified version of the Forest Navel from the first game.
When the rocket first lands here, it hits a tree branch on the way down, but lands safely. A closer look, however, reveals that Louie fell out of the cockpit. This part of the game acts as a tutorial, but the rest of the level is a normal level.
