L8(2):A famous monastery
During the summer months, the monastery is very busy, for it is visited by thousands of people who cross the Pass in cars.
As there are so many people about, the dogs have to be kept in a special enclosure. In winter, however, life at the monastery is quite different.
The temperature drops to -30 o and very few people attempt to cross the Pass. The monks prefer winter to summer for they have more privacy.
The dogs have greater freedom, too, for they are allowed to wander outside their enclosure.
The only regular visitors to the monastery in winter are parties of skiers who go there at Christmas and Easter.
These young people, who love the peace of the mountains, always receive a warm welcome at St. Bernard's monastery.
