• Concordia 2000 is the name of the bell on the summit of Plan de Corones. The bell was built to honour the development pioneers of Plan de Corones and is dedicated to S. Bernard, the patron saint of mountain and ski sports. This bell is one of the biggest in the entire alpine region. It weighs 18.1 tons, measures 3 metres in diameter and is 3.11 m in height. A 500 kg heavy copper clapper rings the bell in C sharp. The Concordia 2000 was conceived as a Peace Bell. The Latin imprint "Donet deus populis pacem" means "May God bring peace to all nations". In addition to the normal times on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 12.10 p.m., the bell also rings anytime the death penalty is abolished in a country, whenever a prisoner on death row is pardoned, and at the end of a war.
