The Julian Alps Adult Multi Activity Week
The towering peaks of the Julian Alps provide a stunning backdrop for a fabulous range of adventure sports based on, and around, the fast flowing River Soca. This is the active way to explore Slovenia’s alpine pastures, canyons and rivers and, at the same time, meet some of the friendliest people we have encountered on our travels. This part of the Soca Valley is one of Europe’s best guarded secrets and has avoided the crowds that flock to Bled, Bohinj and Bovec. Our advice is to get yourself there while the going remains good.

Itinerary
& Highlights |

Sunday
Transfers, Introduction & Dinner
We will meet you at Trieste Airport and transfer across the Italy/Slovenia border to our accommodation. After settling in there will be an introductory dinner
Monday *
White Water Rafting
Straight into the action this morning with the perfect introduction to the River Soca. There’s fun and games between rafts before the more serious rafting begins further downstream. It’s also a great way to get acquainted with others on the trip. Lunch at the hotel.
Tuesday
Mountain Biking
The route today will vary according to the ability of the group. Regardless, a day of cycling on the undulating back roads and tracks of the Soca Valley will take you past rivers and waterfalls and up and down alpine valleys. It’s fabulous cycling country, Picnic lunch included.
Wednesday
Kayak Tuition & Development
Once you have mastered the basics, kayaks give you the freedom to explore almost any river. During the morning we concentrate on tuition and, in the afternoon, we put our new found skills to the test on a Grade I to II stretch of river. Picnic lunch included.
Thursday
Exploration Trek
Our trek takes us into the stunning Polog Valley, possibly the most beautiful in Slovenia. As well as exploring the jaw-dropping scenery, we’ll cross a river on a gondola bridge and visit an amazing WW1 bunker. Picnic.
Friday
Mini-Rafting
A full day on the Soca in our two person inflatable kayaks. Mini-rafts give you far more control than white water rafts and with a barbecue lunch to break up your descent this is a day that will last long in the memory.
Saturday *
Canyoning and Night Canoeing
Following lunch we head for the Trebusa Canyon where we have sole access rights. After a 20 minute uphill walk to our start point we descend the canyon via a series of slides, jumps, ducks and dives culminating in an exhilarating rope-assisted descent of a 27m waterfall. After lunch at the hotel, the afternoon is free to pack and relax before our farewell dinner and the final activitiy of the week, night canoeing. We follow a gentle 4km stretch of river in inflatable kayaks with only the stars in the Slovenian night sky to light our way. Watch out for shooting stars, the record on this descent is ten!
Sunday
Departure
After breakfast we return to Trieste Airport.
*We have not included hydrospeeding in this programme as it can be the most extreme of activities and not to everybody’s taste. Consequently, hydrospeeding will be available to book locally on Monday and Saturday afternoon when our local guides will be available to advise you regarding your suitability for the activity. |
