The Hospice of Petit-Saint-Bernard pass
Constructed in the 11th century on this major route, symbol of a long hospitality tradition, the Hospice would offer shelter and food to passers-by threatened by bad weather. Often burnt down, destroyed or bombed, the now restored Hospice presents an information point and holds several exhibitions about the Hospice's history, the archeology and the climatology of the pass.
Open everyday from June 18th until September 18th, 10AM till 6PM.
