Valhalla is the Viking version of Heavan. But there is a catch. Vikings were violent warriors and so their religion had 2 potential afterlife outcomes. The best one is to die bravely in battle and be granted entry to the hall of Valhalla where you could fight, drink and feast with your warrior brothers forever. Or if you died of old age, illness or some other "unsuitable" death you would be put to Hel (with one l ) which you can probably guess where Christians got "hell" from. :) It was this type of religion that drove the Norse Warriors to become the best fighters of their era and also the best adventurers.
