About

Koča na Veliki Poljani sits at 1384m in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, on the high pasture of Velika Poljana. The hut lies on the main hiking route between Kamnik and the Савиня Valley, making it a natural stop on multi-day traverses. Most hikers approach from Kamnik (roughly 3–4 hours) or from the south via Logarska dolina. The location works well as a midpoint hut rather than a destination summit base.

The hut is a simple, traditional alpine structure run by PZS. It offers basic dormitory accommodation and serves hot meals to guests and passing hikers. Expect no-frills mountain hospitality: clean beds, hearty food, and a reliable water source. Opening is typically May through October, though spring and autumn weather in this range can be unpredictable. Check conditions before planning an off-season visit. The hut has no electricity or shower facilities—bring a headtorch.

Book directly with the hut or through the PZS website in advance, especially for weekends and July–August. The hut is not crowded by alpine standards, but a day or two's notice is sensible. Phone ahead if your arrival will be late; the warden may not wait past dusk. Payment is cash only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Basic dormitory beds and simple meals (soups, stews, local cheese); bring your own sleeping bag or rent one. No showers, but water is available.
Yes—it's a straightforward midpoint hut on established trails rather than a technical summit climb. Families and casual hikers use it as a comfortable first multi-day stop.
