The goal is the only mountain hut on the southern side of the Western Tatras, which is open every day, all year round. This route is popularly used by the very beginners, not that experienced skiers, whole families, or as a short hike in the mountains. It can also be completed with children, or as the first trip for people who are new to ski touring/ski mountaineering. Recently, it has become widely popular to visit the hut in the evening/dark, in the light of the headlight only.

Tips and suggestions
The charm has an evening ascent, especially in clear weather or heavy snow. The hut is open until 10.00 pm. The advantage of its location is the fact that it is not exposed to avalanches like other routes. However, the avalanche situation should not be underestimated even here either. In case of great avalanche danger, both the valley and the hut are closed.Žiarska chata – a mountain hut is an ideal stop for refreshments. In case of nice weather in the spring, the terrace on the south side of the hut is a great place to relax, recharge your batteries and get that needed energy from the sun.
It should be taken into account that especially on weekends, this place is a popular destination for local and foreign tourists, either as the end point of their walk or a place where they stop during a longer hike to the surrounding peaks.

Roadbook
The trip starts at the mouth of Žiarska valley (Žiarská dolina), right at the parking lot. The whole route can be described as a slight climb. It is sometimes ridden by a snowmobile, or has a ski track already made by other ski tourers. The valley has an elevation of about 400 meters in 5 kilometres. From the hut back to the parking lot, it is a pleasant descent on what what normally, when there is no snow, functions as a road. If the snow is wet, it is necessary to use skating style while skiing.
