St Bernard Pass
(Redirected from St Bernard pass)
There are two passes in the Alps named after Saint Bernard of Menthon , who founded a hospice for travellers in 1049:
- The Great St Bernard Pass (2,469 m / 8,101 ft) crosses the Valais Alps between Martigny (Switzerland) and Aosta (Italy), and is the home of the St Bernard dog breed.
- The Little St Bernard Pass lies between Mont Blanc and the Graian Alps, connecting Bourg St Maurice (France) to Courmayeur (Italy).
