Hiking
The path to the pass passes through a rock face on its west side, but is harmless on the east side down to the COL Du Grand St Bernard.

A mountain pass overlooking the Great Saint Bernard Monastery. The summit of this pass is rocky and wild, worn and battered by the brutal winters for which the Alps are known. This pass, however, offers an excellent and captivating climb, while being involved in some superb and intuitive routes in the region. You can expect brilliant panoramic views of the region's many lakes and valleys, as well as a vast expanse of mountains stretching into both Italy and Switzerland.
