Access

Swiss coordinates: 579180 / 79730. In Swiss territory, at the Great St Bernard Pass. Accessible by road from late spring until the first snowfalls. Then by ski mountaineering: beware, the "Combe des Morts" on the north face can be very avalanche-prone, despite the mere 500 m of elevation gain between the tunnel exit and the pass; this route should not be taken lightly.

Good to know

It is advisable to consult the Hospice's website for rates and other details, or to use the email address = hospicestbernard@gsbernard.ch for winter availability or access conditions. It is possible to attend vespers and morning services. Dinner at 19:15, breakfast at 8:00.
