Patrick Kinsella, Hyperopic Gravity Battler I always experience an irresistible urge to head for the highest bit of whatever county, country or continent I’m exploring. This tendency has tested friendships and led to the cliff-edge of divorce. But my feet fidget until they’re atop an apex point. Strangely, though, I’ve ignored the tallest point near my house.

NEEDLE ROCK My long dreamed-of exploration of this remote coastal FINISH wilderness began on a sunny May morning.

Out of the wilderness there emerges a grand doorway hung with icicles, and windows half-submerged in the drifts. We have arrived at the Hospice St Bernard, a religious hostel that has stood at the highest point of the pass since the 11th century. Its robe-clad holy men and gigantic St Bernard dogs gained fame as a mountain rescue double act: fishing passers-by out of avalanches, guiding them through fog to the safety of the hospice. Still run by the Catholic Church, the institution exists for the same purpose today: to welcome and protect passers-by. Today the St Bernard dogs live in an institute on the valley floor, but the two-legged community still thrives at the top of the pass. Three canons and several housekeeping volunteers supply about 50 visitors with clean beds and three generous meals a day in one of the most hostile wildernesses in Europe. The front

THE WORLD -

- EPIC HIKES OF THE WORLD -

LEGACY OF ST BERNARD St Bernard de Menthon (c 1020– 1081) was a medieval priest who built a stone shelter for travellers in the Alps. In time, this shelter grew into a small community, with no members more famous than the giant St Bernard dogs, whose thick fur, large paws, strong limbs and sensitive smell made them ideal for rescue missions. St Bernards were used to uncover lost souls in the snow until the 1950s when helicopters replaced the doe-eyed woofers.

door is open to everyone, regardless of religion. In 1000 years it has never been locked. Packing a sandwich and an apple, I set out on a day trip to Mt Fourchon, the shark-fin-shaped peak visible from the kitchen window of the hospice. The trail leads over the Italian border, past sentry posts locked for the winter, and little road signs peeking above the snowline: STOP and PASSPORTS. Hours pass. A northerly wind gathers strength. Distant walkers shrink to tiny dots. Drawing closer to Fourchon, the A-listers of the Alps assemble on the horizon. To the south is the ridge of Gran Paradiso – the tallest peak entirely within Italy, where a little statue of the Virgin Mary stands on the summit praying to the sky. To the east the mass of Grand Combin and the perfect pyramid of the Matterhorn. Back to the north is the beginning of the pass; once the site of a temple to Jupiter, where Romans came to worship the god of lightning. And beside it is a vast statue of St Bernard himself, his back turned to the mountains and his outstretched bronze hand pointing travellers home to the hospice. Guests return one by one as the sun sinks over the Mont Blanc massif, colouring the snow rosy pink on its way. Since the building of a tunnel, the hospice is no longer a necessary staging post, and yet thousands of visitors still make the journey every winter. Some people come to conquer a mountain, a few to look for Jesus Christ walking barefoot in the snowdrifts. Many come to be above the world below, here where the air is crisp and the views stretch forever. OS

ORIENTATION Start/End // Bourg St Pierre Distance // about 5 miles (8km) one way Getting there // The closest airport to the Great St Bernard Pass is Geneva. From here it’s a two-hour drive to the northern limit of the pass. Tours // Operators such as www.swissmountainleader. com and www.alpinetreks.com offer two-day treks with an overnight stay at the Hospice St Bernard. Where to stay // Before the ascent, stay the night at the rustic Cabane du Plan du Jeu (cabaneplandujeu.ch), or there are more luxurious options in nearby Marigny. When to go: Snow is on the ground from December to May. What to take // Snowshoes lock around walking boots; winter boots will be more comfortable, but a sturdy pair of three-season boots are sufficient. As well as robust waterproof clothing, it’s essential to pack sunglasses and high-factor sun cream, with avalanche transmitters also advisable More info //www.saint-bernard.ch
