A project to stay connected with the past

The history of the Grand Saint Bernard Pass is very long. People that live in the neighbouring region have learned to share this ancient and mystical place in a very fair way: the Hospice is the symbol of the friendship that has joined Swiss and Italian communities for a long time.  The Comunità Montana Grand Combin and the Association pour l’Aménagement de la region de Martigny, decided to develop together an international project which aims to increase the tourist attraction of the historical site, concentrating on the cultural and spiritual values.
