A house of refuge is built on the highest point of the passage, and several others are established in con venient situations along the road, between Drofoi and Bormio; at some of these accommodation and refreshment may be had, others merely afford shelter. From the summit, the road winds down by tourniquets to the inn and custom-house on the Monte Brauglio. Formerly the passage of these Alps, from the valley of the Adige to the Valteline, was by the Monte Brauglio and the vale of Munster, the
