It is said that Napoleon stayed overnight at the traditional Gabi at the Simplon Pass. At the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon initiated the construction of the first passable alpine route over the Simplon. He transported troops and goods across the pass and built the Simplon Hospice for his soldiers there.
