About

Dom Planika pod Triglavom sits at 2,401m on the north side of Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak at 2,864m. Reach it from Pokljuka plateau via Triglav Lakes Valley—a 4-5 hour hike gaining 800m. The approach crosses alpine meadows and boulder fields with sections of fixed chains. From Aljažev dom, the route takes 2-3 hours but involves exposed scrambling. Winter access requires mountaineering skill and avalanche awareness.

The hut holds 143 beds across multiple sleeping rooms. Half-board meals are available; the kitchen serves hearty mountain fare. PZS manages the facility with high standards. The hut has no piped drinking water—collect snow or meltwater, or bring supplies. The season runs from late spring through September. From here, Triglav's north face and Triglav Lakes are 1-2 hours away. The hut serves as a base for traversing the Julian Alps' high routes and technical peaks.

Book directly by phone well in advance. July and August fill 6-8 weeks ahead. June and September are quieter but weather is less reliable. The hut closes in winter—confirm opening dates before planning autumn trips. Slovenian Alpine Association (PZS) member huts offer discounts; bring your membership card.
