Notes: you can also leave from Plan Maison and go up with the ski facilities from Breuil-Cervinia.

Access:

The bivouac can be reached from Cervinia in 4 hours, initially following the ski slopes (or the trail for the Duca degli Abruzzi all'Oriondé refuge) and then crossing a long post-glacial environment of moraines, debris slopes and snowfields, on increasingly steeper ground until reaching the aerial rocky ridge where there are the highest mountaineering difficulties, mitigated by a section equipped with a fixed rope laid by the Matterhorn Alpine Guides in summer 2022.

The hut, inaugurated in 1969, is dedicated to Jean-Antoine Carrel, the first climber of the Matterhorn along the South-West ridge (1865).

The final part of the route, despite the presence of fixed ropes, is reserved only to expert mountaineers.

Access
Uphill from the Duca degli Abruzzi-Oriondé refuge, you pass by the side of the old cableway. The trail passes between the rocks with several hairpin turns until the Croce Carrel, which can be reached in about 30 minutes.
There are some red arrows and varous cairns to follow that show the way to Colle del Leone.
After thirty minutes, you reach the foot of a couloir where the section for expert mountaineers begins. You climb over several rock faces with the aid of a rope for a few metres; continue to climb a slope of about 45 degrees on rocks and trails. You pass two commemorative plates, resume on the trail, and pass on the right of the glacier, reaching approximately an altitude of 3400 metres. Here the trail is cut off by a wall of rocks which is about 10 metres high. After climbing over this wall, you can start on the trail again and follow the cairns until arriving at the Testa del Leone and, after having reached this rocky wall, head more or less straight towards Colle del Leone at an altitude of 3581 metres.
The most challenging section of the climb to the J.A. Carrel mountain hut begins just after Colle del Leone.
You climb over several red rocks and ascend up the ridge on the southern side of the slope and on a diagonal couloir toreach a debris area. Leaving a more vertical wall on the right, you continue onto the left. On the trail up to the foot of the sloped ledges of the ridge, a brief but steep section (II) is found with bolts to secure yourself if you wish to continue on the rope. After this section you reach a broad, inclined ledge (Placca Seiler) beyond a small dihedral (III). Another short section of ledge (II) follows and then, always on the southern side with the fixed ropes, a short, exposed and inclined crossing is found: it takes you to a vertical wall which is equipped with a fixed rope.
After the slight overhanging rock a very flat and easy ledge is found, together with a brief section of trail on the north side of the ridge to reach the bivouac.

In three stages at Plateau Rosa: Winter and Summer ski paradise, but also a high-altitude viewpoint on  Matterhorn.

Summer and winter opening.

Departure: Breuil-Cervinia (2050 m)

Arrival: Plateau Rosa (2500 m)

The departures of the gondola lift (6 seats) and the Cervinia-Plan Maison cable car are located a short distance from the center of the village of Breuil-Cervinia, at an altitude of 2,050 metres, and lead to Plan Maison at an altitude of 2,550 meters above sea level in the heart of the Matterhorn ski area from where it is possible to reach Plateau Rosà/Testa Grigia at 3500 meters and Colle del Teodulo with other lifts or, in Winter season, return to Breuil-Cervinia by skis.

At the start of the lifts there are numerous parking spaces (free parking), cash desks for the purchase of tickets and a café.

From Plan Maison, a 12-passenger cablecar reaches Cime Bianche Laghi from which the cable car to Plateau Rosa starts.

The cablecar to Plateau Rosa has innovative technical features and a design that gives it a slender line and allows you to make the best use of the windows to guarantee a breathtaking panorama: the large windows that surround the cabins appear like a terrace projected into the void conveying to passengers the sensation of a journey into the heart of the Alps.

In all the arrival stations of the lifts it is possible to stop for a break:

• cable car or cable car: Breuil Cervinia-Plan Maison
• cable car: Plan Maison-Cime Bianche Laghi
• cable car: Cime Bianche Laghi-Plateau Rosa

The cable car allows you to reach the area for skiing - even in Summer - but it is an experience not to be missed even for those who don't ski and want to enjoy the high mountains, the clear sky, the intense light of the sun and the crisp air.

From Plateau Rosa it is also possible to continue on the Swiss side by taking another cable car up to the Piccolo Cervino where you can visit the ice cave and from which you can descend to Zermatt. To know more
