The Piccolo San Bernardo hill is located at over 2,100 meters above sea level and connects the Italian valley of La Thuile with the French Val d'Isère. The pass is the lowest alpine pass in the north-western Alps and, also for this reason, it has been frequented since ancient times. In fact, the Via delle Gallie passes through here, the first public work created by the Romans in the Aosta Valley dating back to the 1st century BC.

The "Via delle Gallie" retraces the road that the Romans built in the Aosta Valley at the end of the 1st century BC. It is still practicable today from Pont-Sanit-Martin to the Great San Bernardo. In the pretty village of Pont Serrand you can still see the remains of the ancient road. Just beyond the town, on the short stretch of state road, you cross the Dora di Verney. The bridge over which you pass today stands on the same point where the Romans had built their infrastructure of which you can see evidence by looking on the orographic right of the river.

Pont-Serrand and Orgères At 1630 meters above sea level along the Via delle Gallie which went up from Ariolica (La Thuile) to Alpis Graia (Piccolo San Bernardo Pass) there is the village of Pont Serrand. The toponym explains its position near a deep gorge cut by the waters of the Dora di Verney stream which the Romans already crossed with a wooden bridge of which traces have now been lost. At the entrance to the village there is the chapel dedicated to Saints Bernardo and Maurizio. The presence of various houses, mills, stables, a guard post, accommodation and refreshments for travellers, testify to how the life of the village was closely linked to transit to and from the hill. Travellers, pilgrims, traders but also troops and armies have passed through here. It is no coincidence that just above Pont Serrand, at the entrance to the Vallon de Chavannes in the Orgères area, there is an archaeological site which is the subject of excavation and study campaigns by the University of Turin. In this strategic place, a high-altitude settlement was brought to light whose masonry structures date back to a period between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD. These were then incorporated into the foundations of a late medieval house-fort and subsequently into a defensive line of more modern age. Documents and studies carried out on the many finds discovered have made it possible to establish that Orgères was a permanent and non-seasonal settlement: people lived there all year round, cattle and sheep and goats were raised, cheese was made, wool and fabrics were worked and the metal.

Lake Verney is the largest natural alpine lake in the Aosta Valley. Of glacial origin, it is located at 2,088 m above sea level, between the Bec des Rousses, the promontory of the Piccolo San Bernardo, and Mount Chaz Dura. The shores of the lake are colonized by hygrophilous vegetation that includes prized botanical varieties such as eriophilous grasses, sedges and rushes as well as sphagnum, a typical species of peat bogs. On the sides, the work of nature has left morainic deposits rich in springs, a perfect habitat for primroses and saxifrages. In a distant time, over 2,000 years ago, the Salassi people considered these waters sacred: they were used to bless the fields, unions and children, to propitiate a fruitful summer or a benevolent winter. When the Salassi leaders returned victorious from a battle, they offered the swords of their fallen adversaries to Graio, the god of war and rocks, as a sign of thanks. Today, Lake Verney is a favorite destination for many tourists as well as a fishing reserve. You can walk around its entire perimeter with a comfortable walk of about 45 minutes and by climbing further you can reach the Upper Lake Verney in about half an hour.

An expert mountaineer and great natural science enthusiast, he founded the garden with the aim of cultivating some of the most beautiful and most endangered alpine plant species, so that people could admire them and learn to know and respect them. The garden is located in French territory and covers an area of approximately 10,000 m2.

When in the Year of Our Lord 1034 Saint Bernard of Menton entered the Canons of the Cathedral of Aosta, he was commissioned to build two new hospices for wayfarers: one along the road called Mont Joux (Great Saint Bernard Pass) and one to serve the road called Colonne Joux (Little Saint Bernard Pass). When Saint Bernard arrived in these places he found many pagan temples. One of these stood just beyond the Cromlech and was composed of a shrine and a triple external colonnade. On the highest of the columns was placed a magnificent stone of intense red color that had the power to capture the light of the dying sun on the day of the Equinox, creating flashes over a large part of the esplanade of the Hill. Called the eye of Graius and then the eye of Jupiter, it had been positioned at the time of the Salassi to worship their deities. According to legend, it was Saint Bernard himself who suppressed this pagan symbol by destroying the stone. In its place, a simple iron cross was first placed, then a statue of the saint. This temple, of which only the foundations remain, was discovered in the 1930s during one of the first excavation campaigns at Colle. Numerous finds came to light (now exhibited at the Regional Archaeological Museum in Aosta), including silver plaques, coins, a votive plaque dedicated to Hercules and a silver bust depicting Jupiter Graioceles.

The word cromlech, which comes from the Celtic language (crom means circle and lech means stones), describes its essence exactly: 46 steles are aligned in a slightly elliptical circle with a diameter of 84x72 meters. Each stele is stuck in the ground at a distance of about 3-4 m from the others. This sacred place was created by the Celts in a period dating back to about 2700 years ago, when the “cult of stones” was practiced. In Tir Na Mor Art (Land of the Great Bear, the Aosta Valley of the Celtic era), Vestals and Druids were at home and studied celestial phenomena and practiced rituals here. The cromlech is oriented with the Summer Solstice: on the longest days of the year when the sun sets, the shadow of the two peaks behind the Sacred Circle is reflected on the ground and embraces its perimeter, leaving only the center of the circle to the sun. Wars and adverse weather conditions have led to the gradual degradation of this place. Consider that from 1856 to 2012 the Colle road cut the Cromlech exactly in the center and about ten steles were removed, a fact that for the ancient Salassi would have represented a horrible sacrilege!

Almost 2000 years ago, the Colle del Piccolo San Bernardo was a place of great passage along the busy road that led to Gaul. To give hospitality to merchants, soldiers, and wayfarers on the road, a large Mansio was built, a stopping point considered among the largest and most important of the time, as well as the highest. Today, only the perimeter of the foundation remains of this imposing construction, which makes it clear how the complex was laid out: there were 12 cells for travellers, stables for horses and mules, courtyards and common areas, warehouses, a temple dedicated to the god Jupiter. There were two entrances: one to the south-east that corresponded to the back of the building and one to the north-west that overlooked the Via delle Gallie, separated by another building across the road that served as a warehouse for goods and duties. The roof of the Mansio was initially made of simple bundles of straw obtained from the remains of mown meadows and wheat fields (at that time the climate was milder and it was possible to cultivate at high altitude and move around all year round) and later of slate slabs, obtained from a local quarry, located just beyond the natural watershed that descends towards the Tarentaise.
