Soča Valley and the Alps Trek

Day 1 · Kranjska Gora – Vršič Pass – Trenta Valley

1. 1

   Vrsic Pass - Julian Alps

   6 hours Admission 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.

   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.

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.
