Located in Switzerland on a border pass at an altitude of 2473 m, the Hospice du Grand-Saint-Bernard welcomes hikers, pilgrims and passing guests all year round.
The Hospice was founded in 1050 by Bernard de Menthon, archdeacon of Aosta, to welcome and protect the many travellers using this passage through the Alps. A number of companions who were members of the Aosta Valley clergy helped Bernard to build the house. Thus was born a community and a hospice whose vocation of hospitality has remained uninterrupted to this day.
You can sleep in 3/4 person rooms or in dormitories.
