Mountain huts and shelters of the Carpathians

Huts (kolyby), mountain shelters, foresters’ cabins and weather shelters in the Ukrainian Carpathians: where to spend the night or wait out the rain, whether there is a stove and bunks, how many people fit and whether it is open. Updated from hikers’ reports.

Staying overnight in the mountains

  • Staffed huts have a kitchen and beds, while unstaffed huts, shelters and bivouac sites offer only a roof or a place for a tent — know which one you are heading for.
  • Popular huts get busy in season and at weekends — check on their website or by phone that they are open.
  • In national parks you may sleep out and light fires only in designated places — follow the local rules.
  • Take your rubbish with you: everything in high-mountain huts is carried up and down with great effort.
