The name of the mountain is connected to the Walser German, a language spoken by people who settled into the upper valley of the Strona and Sesia centuries ago.[1] In German Alten means old[2] while Berg means hill or mountain,[3] so the English meaning of the name could be old mountain (vecchia montagna in Italian[4]).
