About
Mojčin dom na Vitrancu sits at 1555m on the Vitranc plateau in the Julian Alps, on the border between Italy and Slovenia. The hut is reached from the Slovenian side via the Kranjska Gora valley (2 hours from the village). From Italy, approach via the Predil Pass road and then hiking trails across the plateau (3–4 hours depending on your start point). The location sits at the crossroads of several long-distance trails, including sections of the E6 and routes connecting the Predil Valley to the Triglav region.
The hut offers 50 beds in shared rooms and has a small restaurant serving hearty mountain food. Meals focus on Slovenian and Italian Alpine cuisine. Water comes from mountain springs. The hut operates year-round but expect reduced services November to March. Phone ahead in winter before visiting. Facilities are basic but adequate: heating, simple washrooms, no shower. The hut is popular with ski-mountaineers in winter and hikers tackling multi-day traverses in summer.
Contact the hut directly by phone or email to book. Book at least 4 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. Groups of 8 or more should reserve further in advance. The hut fills quickly during school holidays and Slovenian public holidays. Arrive by early afternoon to secure a good meal service slot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book 2–3 weeks ahead during peak season (July–August); weekends fill faster. Contact the hut directly by phone or check rifugio.net and CAI affiliations for online booking options.
Typically open June through September; staffing depends on weather and visitor numbers, so confirm opening dates before your trip by calling ahead.
From Slovenia (Kranjska Gora): 2 hours. From Italy (Predil Pass): 3–4 hours depending on trailhead. Both routes cross alpine terrain; use CAI or SAT maps to navigate the plateau trails.
Expect basic mountain refuge meals (soups, pasta, local specialties) and dormitory beds; shower facilities are typically minimal or cold-water only—pack accordingly.
Better for experienced hikers due to exposed plateau terrain and long approach times; families with mountain experience and kids aged 10+ can manage it with early starts and acclimatization time.
