Via Ferrata in Bovec

From the peaks of the Julian Alps to the forests, rivers and lakes of Triglav National Park, a Via ferrata trip around Bovec is the best way to see them all!

Bovec is a small town in northwestern Slovenia, very close to the border with Italy. Nestled in the beautiful Soca Valley, it’s the ideal place to head for an adventure in nature, enjoying the turquoise waters of the Soca river and the majestic peaks of this section of Triglav National Park. Montaz (2754 m) —the second highest peak in the Julian Alps after Mt Triglav— and Mount Mangart (2679 m) are two big attractions for mountain lovers. Both of these peaks have amazing via ferrata routes. In the case of Mt Mangart, there’s a via ferrata in the Slovenian side and another one in the Italian side. This is a great opportunity of reaching the summits of two major peaks in the Julian Alps, while enjoying an extraordinary mountain landscape!
