About
The hut holds 63 beds across multiple rooms and serves as a working base rather than a destination summit shelter. PZS and its Ljubljana mountaineering section (PD Železničar Ljubljana) manage the facility. Hot meals are available when staffed, along with basic drinks and snacks. The hut operates year-round but staffing varies seasonally—winter weekends are reliably open, weekdays less so. Check status before heading up in winter. Summer season (June to September) means consistent daily opening. A small solar installation supplements mains power, and the hut has running water and basic toilet facilities.
Book directly by phone or email with the manager. Weekend capacity fills during summer, particularly in July and August—contact at least 2-3 weeks ahead for these periods. Weekday visits require less advance notice. Winter bookings should confirm staffing 3-4 days in advance, especially midweek. The hut is popular with local day-hikers and weekend parties from Ljubljana, so arriving early in the day gives you the best chance of a bed during peak season.

Not walking in? These run in the same valley and are worth a day.
- Ljubljana: Savica Waterfall, Lake Bohinj and Lake Bled Tour 8 hours · from €80 · 4.9★ (1,417 reviews) The single best-reviewed way to see both lakes in a day, and the Savica stop is a real (if short and steep) 20-minute stair climb rather than a photo stop — capped at 8 people, so it books out.
- Ljubljana: Lake Bled and Bohinj Tour with Savica Waterfall 9.5 hours · from €94 · 4.8★ (1,014 reviews) Covers the same ground as the tour above on a bigger bus and a longer day, worth it mainly if the small-group version is sold out on your dates.
