About

Lipovčeva Koča sits at 920m in the Julian Alps, on the main approach to Stol (2,236m). The hut lies 2–3 hours' walk from Jesenice, making it an ideal base for day trips or multi-day traverses in the northern Julian Alps. Access is straightforward: follow marked trails from the Jesenice area. The surrounding terrain offers direct routes to Stol and connections to other peaks in the range.

The hut is run by PZS's Jesenice youth section and operates as a self-catering refuge. It sleeps 20–30 people in shared dormitories. You have access to a self-catering kitchen, so bring your own food and cooking fuel. Drinking water is available on-site. The hut opens year-round, though winter conditions and snow closure are possible. Cell reception is reliable. Unlike staffed valley huts, this is a simple mountain shelter suited to independent hikers who are happy to cook and manage their own schedule.

Book by email or phone well before your trip. The hut fills quickly during July and August, especially July—contact at least 6–8 weeks ahead for summer weekends. Winter use requires advance notice, as the hut must be checked and prepared. Phone lines may be unreliable in poor weather, so email is your safest bet. Check with the hut directly for current opening dates and any seasonal closures.
