About
Pečovniška Koča na Grmadi sits at 620m on Grmada in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. The hut anchors the lower reaches of this range, making it a solid base for day hikes and easier multi-day trips. Access from Pečovnik village takes around 1.5 hours on foot; the trail is straightforward and well-marked. This elevation means reliable access even when higher huts are still snowbound in spring.
The hut is run by PZS and offers basic mountain hospitality. It sleeps around 30 people in mixed dormitory rooms. Meals focus on hearty Slovenian fare—expect soups, stews, and local cheese. Hot showers are available. The hut operates year-round, though staff presence and meal service are more limited in winter months, so check ahead for the season you're planning. The terrace catches good views over the Kamnik Valley.
Book through PZS or contact the hut directly at least two weeks ahead for weekends and holidays. July and August see steady traffic, but this lower-elevation hut rarely fills as quickly as higher alpine refuges. Winter visits require advance notice to ensure someone is present.
