About
The hut has 34 beds across multiple rooms. PZS and PD Bovec staff serve hot meals and drinks. The kitchen operates May to October, though the hut sometimes opens for weekend trips outside this period. Conditions at this elevation mean snow lingers into June and returns in October. The hut has basic heating but no showers. Water comes from a spring nearby. Toilets are outside. Expect simple, functional accommodation typical of Alpine huts at this altitude and standard.
Book directly by phone. PD Bovec recommends booking at least 2 weeks ahead for weekends. July and August require 4 to 6 weeks' notice. The hut fills quickly during good weather in June and September. Contact PD Bovec through PZS channels or ask in Bovec village for current phone details and availability, as numbers change seasonally.

Guided trips nearby
Not walking in? These run in the same valley and are worth a day.
- Bovec: Canyon Učja — The biggest zipline park in Europe 3 hours · from €80 · 4.9★ (794 reviews) Ten ziplines across a side canyon with big Soča valley views; pure adrenaline rather than hiking, and not for anyone uneasy about heights or harnesses.
- From Bovec: Premium Rafting on Soča River with Photo Service 3 hours · from €57 · 4.9★ (588 reviews) The most-reviewed rafting run on the Soča and beginner-friendly, but the water is snowmelt-cold well into summer and the "premium" tag mostly means better base facilities and photos.
- From Ljubljana: Guided Day Tour to Soča and Kranjska Gora 10.5 hours · from €114 · 4.9★ (874 reviews) The best-reviewed way to reach Kobarid and the WWI front from the capital without a car, with a short walk to Kozjak waterfall — but it is a ten-hour day in a vehicle for a few short stops.
- From Bovec: Sušec Stream Canyoning in the Soča Valley 3.5 hours · from €62 · 4.9★ (236 reviews) The gentlest of the Bovec canyoning options and fine for confident first-timers, though you will be jumping into cold pools and abseiling, so it is not a gorge walk.
