The Teodulo Refuge is a refuge located in the municipality of Valtournenche, in the Aosta Valley, at an altitude of 3317 m. at the open pass in the Pennine Alps, on the Italian-Swiss border, between the Matterhorn and the Monte Rosa massif.
The original refuge was built in 1852 and was the first refuge in the Alps, with the name Rifugio Albergo Colle del Teodulo; it was used as a hiking and mountaineering base for the surrounding peaks and for skiing on the glacier. It was made of larch wood and stone, obtained from some disused fortifications built by Duke Amedeo II in 1688. The refuge was then sold to the Italian Alpine Club in 1915.
The current shelter was built in 1920 and extensively renovated thereafter. Inaugurated with the name of "Rifugio Principe di Piemonte", today instead called Rifugio del Teodulo.

The Theodulhütte is located on the border between Italy and Switzerland at an altitude of 3317 m north of the Theodul Pass and just a few meters below the mountain station of the Bontadini lift.
The hut has a large panoramic lounge with a view of the Matterhorn and a bar that is open to skiers and hikers in both winter and summer. Overnight accommodation is available in shared rooms.

We stayed at the Rifugio Teodulo for one night as part of our mountaineering training course. Very friendly hosts and good food. They are also pretty good for sleeping quarters. However, we were more than disappointed by the sparse breakfast. Before climbing a 4000m peak, you want more than two cookies 😅
