About chalet Rifugio Jean-Antoine Carrel
Itálie Švýcarsko
The Jean-Antoine Carrel Hut is located at an altitude of 3,830 meters in the Italian Aosta Valley. It is situated on the southwest ridge of the Matterhorn (Arête du lion), near the Swiss border.
The mountain hut is named after Jean-Antoine Carrel, who made the first ascent of the Matterhorn via the southwest ridge.
The new hut, owned by the Società delle Guida del Cervino or Société des Guides du Cervin, was officially opened in 1969 and partially renovated after major landslides affected this side of the mountain in 2002-2003. The Carrel Hut has 50 beds and is always open.
WARNING!!!
The Cervino Guides Society, which owns the Carrel Hut, has decided to limit the number of places in the shelter and make reservations mandatory since June 20, 2019. The intention is to avoid unpleasant overcrowding during the summer season, given the serious lack of water available for all users, the difficulty of handling and disposing of the enormous amount of waste left in the shelter, the impossibility of providing minimum hygiene for too many people, and also to try to reduce dangerous queues and morning bottlenecks.
The purpose is solely to prevent more people from being crammed in than the shelter's capacity. It is certainly not a prevention or restriction of climbing on the Matterhorn for anyone, rather to make it even more pleasant and safer.
For me, a step in the right direction. In the evening, morning, and then on the wall, absolute comfort regarding overcrowding.
The Carrel Hut is equipped with mattresses and blankets. No running water is available, and there is no snow to melt in the summer. The pots for melting have been removed from the hut, but the gas stove remains. A guide is almost always present to check reservations and collect fees. (30 Euros in 2020)
Access from the hut from Duca degli Abruzzi takes about four hours. Just below the hut, there are hemp ropes. For me, one of the most difficult sections of the entire Liongrat, just still with enough air :-) So if anyone has a problem here, I would consider further progress.
