쉬운 레이크 버니 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

A great Aosta Valley classic; the climb itself isn't particularly difficult, but be careful not to underestimate the wind that often blows strongly from France, making the 12 km from La Thuile to the pass much more challenging than the steepness suggests. The landscape is beautiful and evocative: from the iconic eight hairpin bends that allow you to leave Pré-Saint-Didier behind, you enter the cool valley that leads to La Thuile. After passing the ski resort, you quickly gain altitude with long straights, then enter the forest and conclude the climb in a vast alpine meadow.

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 hospice of the Little Saint Bernard is still today a symbol of hospitality for all those who travel this path through the mountains. Its history is linked to the figure of Saint Bernard, archdeacon of Aosta who around 1050 built a hospice and a church served by religious dependents of the monastery of Saint Peter in the Swiss Valais. The hospice was entrusted in 1113 to the order of the monks of Saint-Gilles of Verrès. A new hospice was built at the behest of Saint Peter II, archbishop of Tarantasia, a little further south, in the current location. The building experienced alternating periods of decay and prosperity. Since 1752 its name has been associated with the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus and the crusader emblem of the Mauritian Order appears on the façade. In 1860, Abbot Chanoux arrived and helped ensure hospitality for 50 years, both in summer and winter. In 1920, the hospice recorded a record number of visitors, over 21,000, of which over 500 in winter! During the Second World War, the building was devastated and lay in ruins for a long time. Since the summer of 1995, thanks to cooperation between the Italian and French Rotary clubs, a renovated and equipped hospice with a restaurant, rooms and a tourist information point has once again become the soul of the Colle del Piccolo San Bernardo.

World War II bunker This military construction was part of the Western Alpine Wall to defend the Italian borders in the large defense project that crossed the entire Alpine arc. This position in particular was known as Vallo Alpino del Littorio (Littoria refers to the name of La Thuile in the fascist era). The two entrances and a cast iron cap that served as an observatory are still visible. It is small and designed for 2 people armed with a machine gun with a four-way shooting view. All the defenses and barriers built on the Little Saint Bernard Pass had the task of stopping the French advance during the Second World War which affected these territories more than other areas because the passage was easier here. In the second half of the 1930s the construction of new fortifications and the adaptation of existing ones began. The anti-tank defensive structures were installed on both sides of the road, in correspondence with the natural watershed of the Colle and subsequently numerous bivouacs, artillery observatories, bunkers, the forts of Chaz Duraz and Monte Belvedere, the Traversette Redoubt. Towards mid-August 1939, when the winds of war began to blow strongly, a contingent of soldiers was sent to guard the borders and defend the homeland. On September 1st war was declared and nothing was as before…

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.

The Col du Petit-Saint-Bernard from Bourg Saint Maurice is 26.50 km long with a total drop of 1348 m. The average gradient is 5.1% with maximum gradients of 8.1%. It's an epic climb to do in the Tarentaise Valley. It is only accessible during the summer months due to its high altitude. There are spectacular views of Mont Blanc as you ascend, then incredible views as you descend. It is believed that Hanibal used this mountain pass to cross the border into Italy.
