Multi-activity adventure in Slovenia

Visit the beautiful country of Slovenia for a week of trekking and activities in the stunning Julian Alps with OutdoorLads.

An action-packed week. A summit climb. White-water rafting, Canyoning and stunning alpine landscapes!

Our main objective will be to climb Mt Triglav, Slovenia's highest mountain and to trek in the surrounding Triglavski National Park. Triglav is a low altitude peak (2864m) that involves scrambling to reach the summit. The ridge is equipped with an iron walkway called a Via Ferrata to help us reach the top securely and safely. A good head for heights and good walking fitness is required. During this four day trek we will be staying in mountain huts, similar to hostels and eating local cuisine.

After the four day trek in the stunning Julian Alps we will travel to Bovec to raft on the famous emerald Soca river. This river runs through Slovenia and Italy and eventually drains into the Adriatic Sea near Trieste.

Our final night will be spent in a hostel in Ljubljana where there will be the opportunity to do some sightseeing in the capital of this friendly little country. 

This price for this action-packed week is only £1350 which includes 7-nights accommodation in hostels and mountain huts.
