Treat yourself to an alpine escapade in history! From 2024, a didactic path will allow you to reach the archaeological site of the so-called Hannibal's Wall, at 2650 m. From Liddes, Bourg St-Pierre or the Cabane de Mille, follow the pedestrian signs and go back nearly 2000 years to the Roman site. A leaflet (fr., g., engl., it.) is available at the tourist offices of the Grand St-Bernard region.
A wide range of didactic content is also available here.
The Hannibal Wall is a fortified position from the second half of the 1st century B.C. located on the heights of the municipality of Liddes in Valais (Switzerland) at an altitude of about 2650m. Its location is of tactical interest in the control of the eastern flank of the Val d’Entremont by the surveillance of a ring road of the main passage axis located at the bottom of the valley. The site has good observation possibilities and seems to be part of a system which today counts about ten positions between the Valais and the Aosta Valley.
