Experience the full beauty of autumn colors and discover historical landmarks – on foot or by bike – guided by experienced local guides.
Last year, the Hiking Festival evolved into the Soča Valley Hiking and Cycling Festival – and this year, we are taking the story even further.
Alongside the popular guided hikes, we once again invite you to join a variety of cycling tours that delight both families and experienced mountain and road cyclists.
4. 9.—11. 10. 2026
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.
In the Soča Valley, new stories for the 2026 Hiking & Biking Festival are already taking shape.
