After having an awesome time in Switzerland we decided to continue towards Italy. To get there we’ve to cross the Alps via the Great St Bernard Pass, which is the most ancient pass in the Western Alps. It takes course basically from Lausanne (Lake Geneva) in Switzerland all the way through the Aosta Valley (Italy) until it reaches Torino. It is famous for the St. Bernard dog, which was bread and trained to find and rescue lost mountaineers in avalanches.
