A valley is the lowland area between hills or mountains. Valleys have usually been formed by rivers (or glaciers) running through them.

Saddle (Col, Low Point): The lowest point of elevation between two peaks. A col more often refers to a low point between two lesser points, for example, a low point in a ridge. Saddles and cols are common waypoints in routes because routes often follow the low ground.
