And here man has done a colossal work

The highest road pass in the Aosta Valley and a place that has always fascinated the writer for its thousand-year history, the austere Mauritian hospice and the profound beauty of the landscape.

Nice outing, for all levels

The hut has been successfully modernized, combining old and new. Not much of the old hut's charm remains, but everything is now more spacious, well-designed, and bright, including a wonderful lounge with panoramic windows. The hut can also be reached as a day trip by taking the bus to the dam and walking around the lake—with a coffee stop at the Chanrion Hut.

Hotel Italia is highly recommended

The path through the many galleries connected to the many waterfalls makes the route very attractive!

The austere buildings of the Hospice of Great St. Bernard are situated in a rocky pass through which an icy wind almost always blows, on the edge of a lake that is frozen for an average of 265 days a year and where winter lasts almost eight months. For nine centuries, the Canons Regular of the Order of St. Augustine, who settled here at the instigation of St. Bernard of Menthon, have maintained a tradition of helpfulness and hospitality. Travellers who wish to relax for a while in this peaceful place are welcome all year round.
