The famous St. Bernard rescue dogs continue to walk the mountain trails of the Great St. Bernard Pass as Barryland, the world's only theme park dedicated to the breed, celebrates its first anniversary.
The iconic St. Bernard dogs are still roaming the Alpine trails where they built their legendary reputation as mountain rescuers centuries ago.
At the Great St. Bernard Pass on the Swiss-Italian border, the Barry Foundation now cares for 32 dogs, preserving the historic breed while supporting animal-assisted visits to hospitals, schools and care homes.
Meanwhile, Barryland, the world's only theme park dedicated to St. Bernards, is celebrating its first anniversary after welcoming around 135,000 visitors in its first year.
The park showcases the breed's rescue history through interactive exhibits while helping preserve one of Switzerland's best-known national symbols.
