About
Kamniška Koča sits at 1,864m on Kamniškem Sedlu, a saddle in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Reach it in 2.5 hours from Kamnik town via the marked trail through Slatni Kot valley. The final section climbs steeply through forest before breaking into alpine terrain. Most hikers approach from the north, but you can also arrive from Ojstrica (3.5 hours) or from Turska Gora in the south. The hut serves as a natural basecamp for peaks like Skuta and Turska Gora.
The hut is a simple operation run by PZS's Kamnik branch. It sleeps around 30 people in mixed dormitories. Meals are available—order dinner and breakfast in advance. There's no shower, no WiFi. Water comes from a spring. The hut is normally open weekends and holidays year-round, with extended weekday hours during July and August. Winter access depends on snow conditions; verify before heading out.
Book by phone directly with the hut. July and August fill quickly—contact at least 2–3 weeks ahead for summer weekends. The hut rarely turns away serious hikers, but calling first ensures a meal is prepared. If you arrive mid-week in shoulder seasons, you'll have space. Cell reception is reliable enough for a quick call from the trailhead if needed.
