You start the day on a road that climbs like a story—Vršič Pass’s 50 hairpins rising into the Julian Alps, the wind pushing cold alpine air across the bus window. The Russian Chapel appears at a bend: a small, white reminder of WWI and the forced labor that carved this route. Below, the Soča River dares you with its glacial turquoise, threading a gorge that has shaped local livelihoods for centuries.

Rafting is optional—available as an add-on during the day; it requires suitable clothing and basic swimming ability and may incur extra cost.
Yes—Mangart’s high road can close for weather or limited vehicle access; tour operators monitor conditions and may alter the route for safety.
