Hiking trails

From the hike to Mt. Triglav to the relaxing walk nearby Soča River

The Soča Valley boasts the tallest and mightiest peaks of the Julian Alps. Marked trails lead from the valley to wild and untamed corners high in the mountains, including Triglav (2864 m), Slovenia's highest mountain.

There are many circular and themed trails, which acquaint visitors with the heritage of these places. It is possible to combine sightseeing with a walking or a hiking tour. It is also possible to go for a ramble in the woods and gorges, and there are plenty of footpaths leading to mountain villages above the valleys.

The mountainous world of the Julian Alps, the pristine nature of the Triglav National Park and the refreshing Soča river make Soča Valley one of the most beautiful hiking destinations.

The hiking trails boast magnificent views of streams and waterfalls, quiet Alpine forests, and a wide range of plants and animals that live in what many people consider the most beautiful part of the Julian Alps.

The marked trails of varying levels of difficulty are suitable for advanced mountain hikers and climbers as well as visitors looking for a pleasant walk and a way to see some of the easily accessible natural wonders and cultural sights.

Before setting out on your hike in the mountains, we recommend checking the current opening times of mountain huts in the Soča Valley, as some are only open during certain months or on weekends. Due to limited accommodation capacity and high demand, we strongly advise that you always book your overnight stay in advance. This way you ensure a place to sleep and help create a safer and more enjoyable mountain experience.

Before you go to the mountains, read the instructions for safe hiking. We recommend hiring licensed guides for visits to the high mountains.
