The region around the Great St. Bernhard
The Great St. Bernhard Pass has been connecting the north and south of Europe for thousands of years. The region saw numerous pilgrims pas through on their way to Rome, as well as traders and soldiers, including Napoleon's army, who marched to Marengo around 1800. Liddes is situated on a magnificent viewpoint, facing the rising sun at the entrance of the nature reserve, “Combe de l'A“.
The Dranse (Dranze)
The 25 km long spring river Dranse d'Entremont has its origin in the area of the Great St. Bernhard Pass. It flows northwards and is collected in Lake Toules for energy production. The Dranse d'Entremont crosses a height difference of 800m in the Val d'Entremont, west of the Grand Combin.
