Description

This Rafting adventure in Soca Valley is an exciting way to enjoy Slovenia's outdoors at its most!

The Soca river is known as the most beautiful river in Slovenia. It is also called Emerald river for the green colour of its water, for which is known all over the world. Its source lies in the Trenta Valley, up in the Julian Alps, and it flows south to the Adriatic sea.

And we'll go through the best part of this amazing river. I'll pick you up and we'll drive over the Vršič Pass, where we can stop to visit the Chapel raised in memory of the Russian soldiers from the First World War.

The journey continues through the pass, where the mighty walls of the surrounding peaks will blow your mind, towards Trenta Valley where we'll see the source of the river. We'll walk to the beautiful Kozjak Waterfall and we'll jump into the boats to paddle down through this amazing river.

After the rafting we'll enjoy a late lunch and drive to Most na Soči, where the bravest can jump into the river, while the rest of us enjoy a cup of coffee.

Mountain Guide

I am an IFMGA mountain guide born in 1980 in Mojstrana, a Slovenian village close to Mount Triglav, the highest mountain in the country at 2864 m.

From an early age, my parents took me to the mountains during summer and winter. At that time, my father was part of a mountain rescue team in my hometown and was also going on expeditions to the Himalaya and the Andes, so he became a big inspiration for me. We went climbing, hiking, sport climbing and ski touring together. His enthusiasm truly influenced me.

I went to Alpine school, then Mountain rescue team, I did the Alpinist exam and I became an Alpinist instructor. After that, I also studied to be a professor of Sport. Several years later, I decided to begin my mountain guide education and to become an IFMGA/UIAGM certified mountain guide.

The trip itself and the via ferrata was nice with great views, however we didn't enjoy the guiding experience. He was rushing a lot, and asked us to hurry each time we tried to stop to drink or take a photo. On the way back he was walking 200 meters ahead of our group, was chatting on his phone, sometimes shouting back to hurry. Overall we spent only 4 hours climbing. Despite what was promised in the tour description, they were not willing to pick us up at Bled (unless we pay 160 euros extra), so we had to take a 35 min drive to the Kofler office. They also asked us to pack warm winter clothing which was super unneccessary given the very hot weather.
