Experience the full beauty of autumn colors and discover historical landmarks – on foot or by bike – guided by experienced local guides.
This year, we are upgrading the Hiking Festival into the Soča Valley Hiking and Biking Festival! In addition to the popular guided hikes, we are introducing organized cycling tours for the first time – perfect for families as well as experienced mountain bikers.
19. 9.—12. 10. 2025
Join us during the most beautiful autumn months, September and October, for a variety of hikes and cycling trips that will take you through the most scenic corners of the Soča Valley – from peaceful valley trails to panoramic mountain paths.
During the festival, you can also visit exhibitions, museums, attend lectures and events, or treat yourself to local culinary delights in nearby restaurants.
