Overview
The Soča Valley and the Alps Trek explores Slovenia in an active way as we hike the most beautiful trails of the valley and surrounding mountains above. Apart from seeing the highlights of the Soča Valley we hike five out of six days. On this trek you can expect to visit high peaks of the Julian Alps, hike along flower-speckled trails of the greener parts of the mountains, see waterfalls, crystal clear rivers, and wildlife like ibexes and chamois. We spend four comfortable nights down in the valley and an adventurous night in a cute mountain hut nestled amongst high peaks of the Julian Alps.

What to expect
Day 1: Kranjska Gora – Vršič Pass – Trenta Valley
Vrsic Pass - Julian Alps
6h · Admission ticket included
We meet in Bled / Kranjska Gora for a transfer over to the Soča Valley. But before we reach the picturesque valley we stop at the Vršič Pass for our first adventure in the mountains! We climb a peak with a view of the surrounding mountains and the valley where our next adventures will take place. The type of climb varies according to the experience of the group - it can be anything from an easy hike to a demanding but secured mountain climb. After the climb, we transfer down the scenic Vršič road to the Trenta Valley where we settle in a comfortable inn. In the afternoon we hike to see the source of the Soča River and the bravest will climb a short wall to reach the rocks where it surfaces already in its glorious turquoise colors.
Day 2: The Julian Alps above Trenta
Julian Alps
8h · Admission ticket included
Our biggest mountain adventure begins on the second day! We head towards high mountains above Trenta, where we’ll climb a couple of peaks and even spend a night in a cozy hut. The area is well-known for abundant wildlife like chamois and Alpine ibexes as well as rare fauna like the edelweiss flower.
On the first day we hike from Trenta along old military trails from the WWI to see three gorgeous Alpine lakes, reach one of the most scenic mountain huts in Slovenia, climb a peak in the afternoon, and enjoy a relaxing evening in the hut.
Day 3: The Julian Alps above Trenta
Julian Alps
8h · Admission ticket included
After breakfast on the second day we tackle another peak offering incredible views of Mt. Triglav, the highest mountain of Slovenia, and its 3-km wide and 1-km high vertical North Face. We descend down a grassy and more comfortable side of the mountain, and hike our favored trail along flowering slopes and later a crystal-clear river to loop back down to Trenta.
Day 4: Soča Valley - Soča River
River Soca
7h · Admission ticket included
On the fourth day we explore the beautiful Soča Valley, its fabulous emerald green river, its gorges and waterfalls. We visit all the must-see natural attractions of the valley and also treat ourselves to a delicious picnic right beside the river.
Day 5: The Julian Alps above Soča
Julian Alps
8h
After a more relaxing day in the valley we are good to go hiking again in the Alps! This time we head to the mountains above the valley but this time we explore the beautiful trails above Kobarid. Starting the hike on a meadow at 1,000 m we wander across flower speckled slopes with grazing cows up to a deep green lake, one of the three Krn Lakes.
Day 6: Julian Alps above Kobarid – Kranjska Gora
Julian Alps
8h
We spend our last enjoyable day together trekking to an easily accessible peak (still a good workout though!) with 360-degree views. After a picnic lunch we slowly head back and say goodbye to the wonderful Soča Valley, hug for the last time and transfer back to Kranjska Gora.
