Voted 10/10	- It's one of the classic "giants of the Graian Alps", massive peaks relatively isolated and thus very visible in the distance. Other "giants" include Pte Charbonnel, Uja di Ciamarella, Grande Sassiere, Grande Casse, Mont Pourri at some other. - The origin of the name are still uncertain - some author believe its derived from Latin "levare" (to rise), making it "the mountain of the raising sun" (the sun seems to rise behind it if seen from most of the Maurienne. - Its lofty position and immense visibility from the Padana Plain in Italy makes it, along with Gran Paradiso, as a prime candidate for the indentification of the mythical "Mont Iseran", a legendary mountain described by many authors from the Renaissance to the early XIX century, but whose exact position was never precisely pinned. This "Mont Iseran" (long listed as a "lost" 4000m peak) as nothing to do with the mountain of the same name near the Col of Iseran (itself not far away from the Levanne Group)
