More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cold, turquoise ribbon threads through limestone walls as guides clip harnesses and check wetsuits — this is the Soča, daring you downstream. The day begins with a drive over Vršič Pass: alpine air, jagged ridgelines, and the first glimpses of the river that gives the valley its startling color. From a walk through the Soča Gorge to the vertical drops of Sušec Canyon, the itinerary alternates walking, scrambling, rappelling and guided jumps before swapping canyon harnesses for a raft and paddles on the river itself.
