Musée de l'Hospice

Musée de l'Hospice, Bourg-St-Pierre

This high-altitude museum traces the life and history of the Hospice and the Great St Bernard region. Visitors will discover iconographic documents, Gallic and Roman coins, Roman antiquities found on the Great St. Bernard Pass (statues, votive inscriptions), Bronze Age objects and more.

More than 1,300 minerals show the wealth of Valais mines in the 18th century, with fossils from all over the world and minerals from Europe. A collection of around a hundred naturalized animals from around the pass illustrates the local fauna (mammals, birds and insects).
