Refuge Jean-Antoine Carrel is a refuge in the Alps at an altitude of 3,830m in Aosta Valley, Italy. It is located on the south-west ridge of the Matterhorn, near the Swiss border.
The mountain hut was named after Jean-Antoine Carrel who made the first ascent of the Matterhorn via the south-west ridge.
It is located along the south-west ridge of the Matterhorn. The new shelter, owned by the Società delle Guida del Cervino or Société des guides du Cervin, was inaugurated in 1969 and partially redone after the major landslides that affected this side of the mountain in 2002–2003. The Carrel shelter has 50 beds and is always open.
