Hut na Čemšeniški Planini

About
Koča na Čemšeniški Planini sits at 1120m on the Čemšeniški Planina plateau in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Reach it from the village of Čemšenik (near Kamnik) in around 2 hours on foot. The approach is steady and well-marked, following forest paths through beech and spruce woodland before opening onto alpine pasture. The hut serves as a base for exploring the high plateau and connecting routes toward Grintovec (2558m) and the wider Kamnik range.
The hut offers basic mountain accommodation with beds for around 30 people. Meals are available—reserve ahead, especially on weekends. Water comes from a spring on the plateau. The building is simple and functional; expect traditional Alpine hut standards rather than comfort. Open year-round, though winter visits require self-sufficiency. The PZS maintains the hut and trail network.
Book accommodation directly with the hut keeper through the PZS directory or by phone before visiting, particularly for Saturdays and summer Sundays. Arrive early if you plan to eat dinner. The hut draws day-hikers on weekends and serious trekkers crossing the plateau mid-week. A phone signal is unreliable; confirm your reservation well ahead rather than assuming walk-in availability.
