SPECIAL OFFER:

If you sign up for both Slovenia Trips: 1 and 2, you will have one night B&B in ***hotel Spik on Sept.6/7 for free + transport in between for free! You'd pay for 1 night - Sept.7/8.

During this trip, we will be based in Bovec town in the Soca River valley. Bovec is very close to the Italian border, which is why some of the hikes may start in Italy. We plan to finish the trip with lunch in the Italian mountain hut on the way to the airport.

The region of the Soča Valley (Posočje) stretches from Triglav National Park to Nova Gorica. Its most dominant feature is the 136km Soča River, which can widen to 500m and narrow to less than a metre but always stays a deep, almost unreal aquamarine colour. The valley has more than its share of historical sights, but most people come here for rafting, hiking and skiing.

Deeply carved into the white limestone of the magnificent Julian Alps is the Soča Valley. It is a valley of wonderful colours, full of waterfalls, pools, ravines and canyons, with its own distinct flora and fauna. The impossibly blue-green River Soča flows over white gravel and through this fairy-tale valley. The Emerald Trail follows the river to the most amazing places.

There will be at least 2-3 experienced hike leaders on this trip plus we have a local guide - Nejc who has been guiding our group for the last 9 years.
If we need we may split a group into 2-3 smaller groups so members can choose a hike according to their fitness and abilities!
