About
Planinski dom pod Ježo sits at 740m in the Julian Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia, near the Slovenian border. Reach it from the village of Bovec (Slovenia) or via trails from the Italian side. The most direct approach is a 2-hour hike from Kobarid through beech and spruce forest. The hut serves as a base for exploring the Soča River valley and the limestone peaks above.
The hut has 30 beds split between private rooms and dorms. The kitchen serves hearty Alpine fare: pasta, stews, and local specialities. There's hot water, basic toilets, and a small common room. Winter months can be cold; the hut operates year-round but staff presence is irregular October through April—contact ahead before visiting in shoulder season.
Book direct by email or phone. July and August fill quickly; book 4–6 weeks ahead for summer weekends. The hut lies on the AVS (Alpenverein Südtirol) network, so SAT/CAI members often get discounts. Arrive with cash if possible; card payments are unreliable. The road to the hut is rough; hiking in is more practical than driving.
