Multi-activity sports holiday in Slovenia: mountain biking, trekking, kayaking, paddleboarding

For early risers, Matthieu will offer a short walk at dawn to admire the sunrise over Velika Planina, a privileged moment in the heart of the Julian Alps.

Late morning, we'll head to Lake Bohinj, one of Slovenia's most beautiful lakes, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and peaceful atmosphere. After some free time to relax, we'll meet up for a refreshing and fun activity: a paddleboarding session on the lake, with the option of swimming for the more adventurous!

After a short morning transfer to the Planina Blato parking area, located at approximately 1,140 meters above sea level, we begin our trek towards the Vodnikov refuge. The trail winds through dense beech and spruce forests, providing welcome shade during the ascent. As we climb, the vegetation thins out, revealing breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding valleys and alpine peaks.

​

Along the way, we pass through the Lazovski Preval pass, the highest point of the day at 2,039 meters, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. After a well-deserved break, we continue our descent to the Vodnikov refuge, perched at 1,817 meters, where a warm and welcoming atmosphere awaits us for the night.

From the Vodnikov refuge, we begin the ascent towards the highest point in Slovenia: Mount Triglav (2,864 m). The path climbs gradually through alpine pastures, then becomes more rocky as we approach the Planika refuge, the starting point of the final climb.

The summit climb, equipped with cables, requires a bit of concentration but remains manageable. Once at the top, the reward is complete: a 360° view of the Julian Alps. We then descend to the Koča na Doliču refuge, where we will spend the night.

The trail winds its way between crystal-clear alpine lakes, surrounded by majestic peaks and flower-filled meadows. After about 5 km, we reach the Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih mountain hut (1,685 m), ideal for a refreshing break.

​

We then continue our descent towards Planina Blato, passing through traditional alpine pastures and dense forests, offering a diversity of landscapes typical of the Julian Alps. After several hours of walking, we reach the Planina Blato car park, the end point of our trek.

Today we put away our walking shoes, put on our swimsuits, and head towards the Soča River, famous for its emerald waters!

After reviewing all the safety techniques related to the practice of single-person kayaking, accompanied by experienced guides, we set off for a 2-hour descent of the Soca River.

The course offers a perfect combination of calm sections to admire the scenery and class I to II rapids for an adrenaline rush.

Free late afternoon.

For our last day, we hop on mountain bikes to explore the picturesque Soča Valley. The route takes us through forest trails, alpine meadows and along the river, offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

Along the way, we'll stop to visit historical World War I sites and discover hidden waterfalls. This ride is suitable for all levels, with options for more technical sections for experienced cyclists (otherwise, we'll dismount).

After lunch, we will head to the village of Bled, a living postcard with its turquoise lake, its mystical island topped with a chapel, and its medieval castle perched atop a cliff, a magical place to end the trip in style.

To gently conclude this week of adventure, we offer you one last magical moment: a short morning walk to a secret viewpoint overlooking Lake Bled, ideal for admiring the sunrise.

The contrast between the golden light, the island with the bell tower and the mountains in the background offers an unforgettable spectacle.

The morning continues peacefully around the lake, between walks, photos or tasting the famous Bled cream cake for those with a sweet tooth, before your transfer to Ljubljana airport.
