Hi Vlad,
It’s unlikely that they’ll let you stay if the hut is at full capacity. Huts are only obliged to shelter hikers in severe weather/emergencies.
All the best,

Good day, Considering mid-end July time, in case of sudden change of plans during hiking, and subsequently, if I need to stay in the hut, which was not booked in advance, and if the hut is already full for that night, is there any chance that hut owners could find some place to sleep for me?

Hi Sara,

After ascending to Mount Triglav, you could descend to Triglavski dom na Kredarici. From here, you could continue to Dom Valentina Starnica and then circle back to Dom Planika. We haven’t hiked that route, so I can’t offer any guidance.

Have fun hiking in Slovenia,
Sabrina

Thank you so much for the reply
Another thought we have, is that if climbing Triglav from Dom Planika only takes a few hours, are there ways to extend or add on another short walk? We have booked two nights at Dom Planika and concerned it might be too much since we are experienced hikers. We are considering walking to Dom Valentina Stanica for example.
Best wishes,
Sara

Hi, I’ve been reading all your blog on Slovenia and found them so useful! Does everyone in the group need the Alpine Club Membership Card in order to get the discount on a booking, or only the person who made the reservation? We are a group of three, and it would be great to know if only one of us needs to get the membership! Thanks.

In reply to Joran. Hi Joran, Use Nomago.si. You can also consult the Kranjska Gora Tourist Page for a timetable for the KRANJSKA GORA–VRŠIČ–BOVEC bus line. They haven't updated it since last year, so you can also reach out to them directly. All the best, Sabrina

Hi,
We are planning to do the hut to hut hiking trip of 4 days in Triglav National Park. Since we aren’t able to go by car, we would like to use public transport. However, we don’t really understand how to plan our bus trip from Ljubljana Airport to Vrsic Pass via the site alpetour.si.
How did you do this since the site is not in English?
Thanks in advance for your help!

In reply to Mark.

Hi,
It depends on the elevation of the hut. The higher the hut, the colder it is.
We always use the cotton liner. The Slovenian mountain huts provide blankets. Note: the high-elevation huts (near the summit of Triglav) can be really cold and we’ve had to sleep in our puffer jackets as well.
Happy hiking,
Sabrina

What are the huts like at night, temperature wise? I’m trekking in mid-June and was wondering weather which liner to take; the basic cotton bag liner or my extra warm (adds ~25 degF to bag rating) liner. Thanks….
