The gateway to Italy, the village of Bourg-St-Pierre is bursting with history and charm, from its ancient buildings to its newly restored mill and the legacies left by former travellers. History and legend sit side by side within its walls, recalling the bygone eras of Hannibal, the troops of the Roman Empire, those of Napoleon, the passage of millions of pilgrims, travellers, traders... the whole world has travelled the St. Bernard’s Pass. The village today retains these fragments of history and continues to extend a warm welcome to all its visitors.
