Great St Bernard Pass Hospice Museum

Great St Bernard Pass Hospice Museum

Perhaps the Great St Bernard Pass should be renamed the Great Alsation Pass. It might save the local rescue dogs at the local hospice some embarrassment. These days the affable Alsatian breed does the rescuing. The museum explains the importance of the monks’ rescue work and religious vocation, which dates back to the 11th century.
