A mobile phone number and the names of all participants in the Matterhorn ascent will be requested to confirm the booking.
Presence of water/snow (normally at the beginning of the season there is snow near the hut from which you can get water, but after a while it runs out and you have to bring water from below)
Presence of gas for cooking but no cookware of any kind (bring your own)
Blankets are provided, but a PILLOW SHEET is compulsory.
NO CURRENT and NO POSSIBILITY to charge phone
Presence of some slippers available
"Once the emergency number is called, brief information will be asked about what happened, the exact location of the accident, how many people are involved, the medical condition of the injured and the weather conditions. One of the helicopters of the Soccorso Alpino Valdostano or Air Zermatt will arrive in a short time with specialised technicians and a doctor on board!"
GPS coordinates via mobile phone will also be requested if necessary.
Remember that the ascent to the Cresta del Leone on the Matterhorn is an alpine itinerary where experience and good training are indispensable. The first mountaineering difficulties are encountered well before the Capanna Carrel, which is why we recommend roped progression. Always take into account your mountaineering skills, your training and the progression you intend to use!
