Cromlech of Little St Bernard Pass
Cromlech of Little St Bernard Pass, Stone circle and archaeological site at Little St Bernard Pass, France and Italy.
The circular formation consists of 46 stone blocks placed vertically at intervals spanning 72 meters in diameter across the mountain pass.
Built around 3000 BC, this prehistoric stone structure marked an important crossing point between present-day France and Italy through the Alps.
The stone circle served multiple functions, including an astronomical calendar for ancient communities and a navigation landmark for mountain travelers.
Located at 2,188 meters elevation, visitors can access the site from June to October through marked paths from both French and Italian territories.
This megalithic monument stands as one of the few high-altitude stone circles in Europe, spanning across two modern national borders.
