The chalet Košutnik is situated in the tourist village on Velika planina, near restaurant Zeleni rob. A cable car lifts you to the cable car station on the edge of the mountain. From there you can take the double chairlift that brings you to the guest house »Zeleni rob«, after which you turn to a rocky road to the left. After 300m you will find the chalet »Košutnik« on your right side (about a 5min walk). If chairlift doesn't operate, from upper cablecar station you have around 30min walk.

Nearby Ljubljana and only few kilometres from the town Kamnik is located the bottom station of the cable car to Velika planina, which takes you amongst the green pastures of the mountain plateau in the heart of the Kamnik Alps. We recommend that you walk to the herdsmen's settlement and feel the simple way of the herdsmen's life, taste their dairy products and admire the unique architecture of the cottages which define Velika planina. To those, who are more active, the mountain offers ideal possibilities for hiking and various mountain-cycling tours. The herdsmen’s settlement is known as one of few the settlements of such size in Europe and attracts many visitors throughout the year. It is distinct by its typical architecture which symbolises Velika planina. The roofs are covered with pine shingles, which extend rather low. The name of the cottage in the Kamnik part of Velika planina is “a herdsman hut” or “a shepher’s home”, and a pine shingle is called “šinkel”. The settlement is revived every June, when herdsmen return to the settlement and tend to their cattle until September. They are delighted to invite you to taste their dairy products or try a typical dishes.
