The Grand St Bernard Hospice is a full on working monastery set on the border between Switzerland and Italy. There’s a museum in the hospice that oozes alpine history, along with the usual dorm rooms, bar and basic restaurant. A monastery might not sound like the usual place to spend the night in the mountains but the place is actually extremely popular with backcountry snowboarders due to the easy access and epic terrain just a short skin or hike from the hospice.
