The Great St. Bernard Pass is an ancient path across the Western Alps that was used by Napoleon's army, but predates Roman times. Shown here are the two hospice buildings, dating from 1560 and 1898, which are most famous for the dogs kept these that bear the name St. Bernard, and the Statue of Bernard of Menthon (St. Bernard).
