Hot water and showers in the mountain hut
Can I take a hot shower at Erjavčeva koča?
Yes, hot showers are available at Erjavčeva koča mountain hut at Vršič Pass. However, because the hut is located in Triglav National Park, 1,525 meters above sea level, water is a valuable and limited resource.
We are not connected to a public water supply system. The water used in the hut comes from a nearby natural source, and because of this, we must save water at every step. Water in a mountain hut is not unlimited, especially during the busy summer season, dry periods, or days with many overnight guests and visitors.
Every summer, we work hard to ensure that there is enough water to operate the hut, prepare food, clean, provide basic hygiene, and make showers available for guests. This is why we kindly ask all visitors to use water responsibly.
How do shower tokens work?
Showers work with tokens. Please use your shower token wisely and save water whenever possible. The best way to shower in a mountain hut is to turn the water off while shampooing, soaping, or washing, and then turn it back on only when needed.
This helps reduce unnecessary water use and allows more guests to have access to hot water during their stay at Erjavčeva koča.
Most mountain huts charge extra for shower tokens. At Erjavčeva koča, the shower token is already included in the price of the overnight reservation.
Additional showers during busy periods
During crowded periods, additional showers in the basement may also be available. If the doors are locked, please ask the hut staff for the PIN code.
Because this is a mountain hut and not a hotel in the valley, shower availability may depend on water supply, guest numbers, technical conditions, and the current situation in the hut.
Towels
Larger towels can be provided for an additional charge if needed. If you need a towel, please ask the hut staff during your stay.
Why saving water matters
Water is essential for life in the mountains. In a remote mountain hut, it is needed for drinking, cooking, cleaning, showers, toilets, staff work, and daily operation. When guests use water carefully, they help protect the natural source and support responsible operation of the hut.
By saving water during your shower, you help other hikers, travellers, and overnight guests enjoy basic comfort in the mountains while also protecting the fragile alpine environment of Vršič Pass and Triglav National Park.
Final note
Hot water in a mountain hut is a comfort, but it is also a shared resource. Please use showers responsibly, keep your shower short, and remember that every litre of water has to come from the mountain environment around Erjavčeva koča.
Mountain hut shower advice
Turn the water off while shampooing and soaping, and use it only when rinsing. This simple habit helps save water and makes showers possible for more guests during busy periods.
