About
Dom na Zgornji Slivni sits at 1,475m on the slopes of Slivnica in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. The hut serves as a base for ridge walking and approaches to higher peaks in the range. You reach it from the village of Zgornja Slivnica (accessible by car) in 45 minutes to 1 hour on foot. Alternatively, approach from Kamnik via Kamniške Bistrice valley, a longer but scenic route of 3 to 4 hours.
The hut sleeps around 40 people in mixed dormitories. Meals are available year-round: expect simple, hearty fare that fuels mountain days. The kitchen supplies hot drinks and snacks throughout daylight hours. A small common room provides shelter from weather. Toilets and basic washing facilities are on site; showers are available. The hut operates year-round, though in winter weather can close access for periods.
Book directly with the PZS-affiliated hut keeper or through the PZS website. Summer weekends (June to August) and September fill quickly; book 2 to 3 weeks ahead for those periods. Off-season (October to May) rarely requires advance booking. The hut is family-friendly and commonly used as a base by local hiking groups. Half-board (dinner and breakfast) is standard; packed lunches are available for onward hikes.
