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.

Our guide Stres Blaz was fantastic. He was very knowledgable about the mountain and was a strong guide that meant we could keep a good pace even with congestion on the mountain. I also had a small injury and he was very quick to support. Thank you for everything!

A fantastic trip, with an extremely professional mountain guide. Made us feel very welcome in his back yard, with excellent attention to both safety and enjoyment.
