Saint Bernard of Montjoux, C.R.S.A. (; ; ), was an Italian monk and religious, the founder of Great St Bernard Hospice, the famed hospice and monastery which has served travelers for nearly a millennium as a refuge in the most dangerous part of the western Alps. It has been served by its own congregation of canons regular throughout its history. The famous breed of St. Bernard dogs were named after the hospice as they were bred to help on rescue missions during winter storms.
