Planika is among Slovenia’s most authentic mountain huts that can be reached within 5 hours of hiking. It stands at an altitude of 2400 m on a high plateau south of Triglav, and is an excellent starting point for the ascent to our highest mountain peaks. Planika is just the right size to offer comfortable shelter to a large number of hikers (49 in private and 94 in common rooms), but still small enough to give you a sense of cosiness. Guests can mingle in the shared dining area and exchange their Alpine tales, which is certainly among the main perks of staying in mountain huts.

The hut’s complex consists of two separate buildings, which guarantees a quieter night time stay. The original hut was built here as early as 1871 with the current facilities dating back to 1992. Supplies have to be helicoptered in, meaning that the hut’s offer is basic but most welcoming after a daylong hike. The water in the hut is not drinkable, as the reservoir only stores water intended for washing. But that’s part of any mountain huts true Alpine charm!
Planika is only open during the summer season and boasts exceptional views of the southern Julian Alps and the Bohinj Valley below.

The service provided by this company is first class. Our agent, Marusa was superb in terms of her communication, her suggestions and recommendations and brilliant organisation of our trip. Had we tied to organise for ourselves we would almost certainly have missed things out through lack of knowledge. Everything worked so well that we were able to make the most of our first wonderful visit to this beautiful, friendly and hospitable country. We loved it.

Slovenia Holidays / World Discovery ( travel agent Grega) arranged a one week travel program for us in Slovenia, combining our own wishes of some hiking and nature experiences, some sea-, city- and country-side visits and his own suggestions (Ljubljana food tour, Planina cave spelunking with personal guide, etc.). The process around customising the itinerary and perfecting it went very smooth. He arranged tickets, guides and a rental car, all accessible through a neat app, and the plan turned out to fit very well, including a rental car upgrade to accommodate larger then anticipated suitcases. We had not heard so much about Slovenia beforehand, but it is amazing, as are its people, food, culture and not least its diverse nature, its exceptional gorges and caves.

Slovenia Holidays did a fantastic job in putting together an eight-day, tailor-made tour for our small group. We had an amazing time and highly enjoyed all elements of our trip – including tour of Ljubljana, gorge hiking, visiting Slovenia’s famous caves, alpine views, hot air balloon ride, beautiful coastal town of Piran and, of course, delicious food and wine 😊. Our holiday agent – Grega - was a pleasure to work with and ensured our holiday covered the key locations and experiences Slovenia has to offer. The tour was a perfect introduction of Slovenia – beautiful and diverse country. We enjoyed everything, well organised and felt in safe hands. Our guide – Sanda - was a good match for us and tuned into our relaxed attitude. We would highly recommend Slovenia Holidays to anyone wishing to discover and explore real Slovenia.

Our private Hike and Bike tour was nothing short of amazing! We had a fantastic holiday, and Tomaz, our guide, went out of his way to ensure everything went smoothly. He was knowledgeable, punctual, entertaining, reliable, experienced... the perfect guide! It was a pleasure to indulge in such a breathtakingly beautiful country. Thank you, Ivana and Grega, for arranging our trip professionally and efficiently.
