History

The Alps have long served as an impressive natural border, shaping the geography and culture of Central Europe and the Mediterranean. Throughout history, passes like the Brenner Pass and the Great St. Bernard Pass have connected regions, opening up avenues for trade and cultural exchange. As far back as Roman times, these steep paths have seen soldiers and merchants pass through. The Great St. Bernard Pass, connecting Switzerland to Italy, became famous for the refuge established by Saint Bernard of Menthon. Known for his compassion, Saint Bernard offered shelter to travelers and even trained the famous St. Bernard dogs to rescue those lost in the snow.
