The climb to the Great St. Bernard Pass (2469 m) from Aosta follows the historic State Road 27 via Gignod. It is a very long climb, about 33 km, which exceeds almost 1900 meters of altitude difference. The gradient is generally constant, with an average of around 5.7%, making it challenging especially for the length and altitude reached. The pass is located on the border with Switzerland.
