The next day, travel toward the Julian Alps for a walk through breathtaking Vintgar Gorge. Follow wooden pathways above the rushing water before enjoying lunch at a local guesthouse and continuing to Bovec, your home in the beautiful Soča Valley for the next three nights.
Hike a scenic section of the Alpe-Adria Trail through Triglav National Park, following the emerald Soča River from Soča village to the mountain town of Bovec. Along the way, cross suspension bridges, pass through the narrow Trenta Valley, and admire the confluence of the Soča and Koritnica rivers.
In the afternoon, take to the water for an exhilarating guided rafting adventure on the Soča River. The following day is yours to personalize: relax beside the river or choose from optional activities such as hiking, biking, kayaking, ziplining, or visiting a World War I open-air museum. An optional visit to Goriška Brda wine country offers the chance to explore medieval Šmartno and sample local wines and regional specialties.
Travel across Vršič Pass, Slovenia’s highest and most scenic mountain pass, before hiking to Slemenova Špica. This approachable alpine trail rewards you with incredible views of the surrounding Julian Alps, followed by lunch at a mountain hut.
Continue to Lake Bled, where you can admire its famous island, historic church, and cliffside castle. Finish the day at peaceful Lake Bohinj in the heart of Triglav National Park.
On your final full day, hike through Mostnica Gorge and the beautiful Voje Valley. Follow forest trails past sculpted rock formations, stone bridges, alpine meadows, and the scenic Voje Waterfall before gathering with the group to celebrate an unforgettable week in Slovenia.
