The car
About this car in Sion
The Great St Bernard pass, about an hour and a quarter from Sion via Martigny, has been crossed since Roman times, and at the top the hospice of the canons, founded a thousand years ago, still welcomes travellers and keeps the famous dogs in summer, beside a lake on the Italian border.
The X5 M covers the climb quickly: 625 twin-turbo horsepower, xDrive and five seats.
