The first hospice or monastery at the Great St. Bernard Pass in the Pennine Alps was the ninth-century edifice at Bourg-Saint-Pierre, mentioned for the first time around 812-820.
This is destroyed by Saracen incursions in the mid-tenth century, probably in 940, the date at which they also occupy Saint-Maurice.
The frontier with Italy is only a few hundred meters to the south.
