A centuries-old summer tradition:

The Swiss national dog has returned to the Great Saint Bernard. The St. Bernards of the Fondation Barry in Martigny, Valais, will remain on the top of the pass until the beginning of October. Visitors can see them there every day. A special experience is offered there until the end of August with the 90-minute hikes accompanied by St. Bernards. Easy walks with the good-natured four-legged friends are also offered in Martigny - an experience particularly suitable for families.

The Alpine procession of St. Bernards takes place every year in mid-June. 15 dogs have been in their high alpine home on the Great St. Bernard Pass since then. They will all spend the summer in the home of their ancestors. The kennel at the top of the pass is open daily between 10 am and 6 pm. The visit of the dogs is coupled with the entrance to the Hospice Museum. Visitors thus not only meet the descendants of the legendary rescue dog "Barry", but also learn many exciting things about the pass and the hospice in the museum. Those who want to experience the St. Bernards up close on the pass can accompany them on a one-and-a-half-hour hike through the dreamlike alpine nature in July and August.
