Rifugio Duca degli Abruzzi all'Oriondé
Perched at an altitude of 2,802m, Rifugio Duca degli Abruzzi offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Matterhorn's south face. Accessible by a scenic hike from Cervinia, it's a popular stop for trekkers and mountaineers. The refuge provides simple but comfortable dormitory-style accommodation, a hearty restaurant serving traditional mountain fare, and a sunny terrace. It serves as an important base for ascents of the Matterhorn and other high peaks. Open from late June to early September. Bed & breakfast prices typically range from €50-€80 per person.
