A Famous Monastery
The Great St. Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy. At 2470 metres, it is
the highest mountain pass in Europe. The famous monastery of St. Bernard,
which was founded in the eleventh century, lies about a mile away. For hundreds
of years, St. Bernard dogs have saved the lives of travellers crossing the
dangerous Pass.
These friendly dogs, which were first brought from Asia, were used as watch-
dogs even in Roman times. Now that a tunnel has been built through the
mountains, the Pass is less dangerous, but each year, the dogs are still sent out
into the snow whenever a traveller is in difficulty. Despite the new tunnel, there
are still a few people who rashly attempt to cross the Pass on foot. During the
summer months, the monastery is very busy, for it is visited by thousands of
people who cross the Pass in cars.
As there are so many people about, the dogs have to be kept in a special
enclosure. In winter, however, life at the monastery is quite different. The
temperature drops to -30º and very few people attempt to cross the Pass. The
monks prefer winter to summer for they have more privacy. The dogs have
greater freedom, too, for they are allowed to wander outside their enclosure. The
only regular visitors to the monastery in winter are parties of skiers who go there
at Christmas and Easter.
These young people, who love the peace of the mountains, always receive a
warm welcome at St. Bernard’s monastery.
