BolshieBoris visited on 10th Sep 2008 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 The Little San Bernardino Pass goes straight through it across the France/Italy border which it also straddles. Very large circle with small-ish stones. Tank traps and border installations detract somewhat from the ambience, but worth a visit for the drive alone!
Despite having the road go right through the middle of the circle, there are still 46 stones remaining standing.
Note: We deliberately have two pages for this site. This is the Italian version of the French Col du Petit Saint-Bernard Cromlech site page, as it is partially sited in both countries.
Note: The Tour-de-France will ride right through the centre of this stone circle today, situated at the top of the Little St-Bernard pass.
