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.
Romanian mountain huts: good to know
- Refuges (refugii) in the Romanian Carpathians are unstaffed huts: a roof, a sleeping platform or a bare floor. Bring a sleeping bag, mat, stove and water. Staffed mountain huts (cabane: Omu, Mălăiești, Podragu…) are not open all year — check their official site or ask Salvamont before you go.
- The Romanian Carpathians have one of the largest brown bear populations in Europe: keep food and rubbish sealed, do not cook inside the refuge and never leave food outside.
- In winter and spring refuges can be snowed in and some ridge paths are prone to avalanches — ask Salvamont about trail conditions.
- Take your rubbish with you: everything in high-mountain huts is carried up and down with great effort.
