About

Erjavčeva Koča sits at 1,525m in the Julian Alps, well-positioned for day hikes and longer traverses across the range. The hut lies on the main walking route between Jesenice and the Karavanke, making it a logical overnight stop if you're heading towards Triglav or linking ridges. Approach from Jesenice takes 2–2.5 hours on a well-marked path. Winter access depends on snow conditions; check with the hut before planning a cold-season visit.
The PZS-managed hut sleeps 99 across dormitory rooms and private rooms. Meals are available at dinner and breakfast; order your evening meal when you arrive. The hut has heating, running water, and basic shower facilities. It's open year-round, though staffing varies outside peak season—ring ahead if you're visiting November to March. The location draws serious hikers rather than casual walkers; most guests are doing multi-day Alpine traverses.
Book directly by phone to check availability and confirm opening dates, especially in winter and shoulder seasons. July and August need 4–6 weeks' advance notice. Contact the hut or PD Jesenice through the PZS website for current phone numbers and rates. The hut accepts bank transfers for payment.
