Kredarica

Slovenia’s most famous hut just below its most famous mountain.

This highest-standing mountain hut (2500 m) is probably the most famous of its kind in Slovenia. Officially called Triglavski dom, it is located on a plateau called Kredarica, from which the shortest yet far from the easiest route to Triglav leads. That is why this hut is extremely popular among Triglav enthusiasts. No wonder it has been enlarged several times and can now accommodate up to 240 guests for overnight stays. When the weather is good and during weekends, this place is booked weeks in advance.

The first hut in this location was built in 1896 on the initiative of Jakob Aljaž, the priest who is also credited for erecting the famous tower on Triglav. Today, the limited amount of electricity is provided by wind and solar panels, and the hut is supplied with food and drink by a helicopter. The offer and prices of drinks are therefore appropriately high. The water from Kredarica’s reservoir is not drinkable and is intended for washing only.

Like in all mountain huts, Triglavski dom is divided into private or shared sleeping quarters. Rooms are often the first to get booked, a room has to be booked very early before the season.
As the hut is perched on a ridge, it offers fantastic views to the south and north, as well as a good portion of the Julian Alps. This hut is officially only open in summer, as it also serves as Slovenia’s highest weather station and two meteorologists stay up there all year round. They kindly receive visitors during winter months, but you have to make do with sleeping in unheated rooms.

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.
