About
Koča na Mali gori sits at 1034m on Mali gori, a low forested ridge in the Karst plateau above the Soča valley. Reach it on foot from Kanal ob Soči (30 minutes) or from Bovec (2 hours via the marked trail network). The hut is a base for moderate day hikes across the Karst, including walks to nearby summits and limestone karst features. The location makes it useful for splitting longer trekking routes through the Julian Alps.
The refuge is small and straightforward. It has dormitory beds and a kitchen where you can prepare meals, or eat simple food available on-site. Water comes from a spring nearby. The hut operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and you should check ahead. Facilities are basic—expect no shower and minimal heating in winter months.
Book directly with the hut keeper. Contact details are available through the Slovenian Alpine Association (PZS) website or local tourist information in Kanal ob Soči. July and August see the most traffic, but this is not a popular destination, so availability is generally good. Arrive with supplies if planning to stay multiple nights, as the hut's food stock is limited.
