The Great St. Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy. At 2,473 metres, it is the highest mountain pass in Europe. The famous monastery of St. Bernard, which was founded in eleventh century, lies about a mile away. For hundreds of years, St. Bernard dogs have saved the lives of travellers crossing the dangerous Pass. These friendly dogs, which were first brought from Asia, were used as watchdogs even in Roman times.
A hospice (宗教团体开办的招待所） for travellers was founded in 1049 by Saint Bernard of Menthon and came to be named after him in the 16th century to keep the pass safe for travellers.
The hospice occupies two buildings made of grey stone (built in 1899), which provide hotel services.
