The mountain has two peaks. The western peak is the highest, 2,060 metres (6,760 ft) and the eastern peak is 2,042 metres (6,699 ft) with a primary factor of 90 metres (300 ft).[3]
Name
The first element is midt which means "middle" or "the one in the middle". The last part of the name is -ronden which is the finite plural of the word rond. Several mountains in the area have the ending -ronden (Digerronden, Høgronden, Midtronden, Storronden and Vinjeronden), and this is the finite singular of the same word. The word rond was probably originally the name of the long and narrow lake such as Rondvatnet and the mountains surrounding the lake were then named after this lake.
