Multisport Adventure Tour

Itinerary

Day 1: ARRIVAL IN KRANJSKA GORA

For the first couple of days you'll be based in the alpine town of Kranjska Gora, with beautiful views of the western Julian Alps everywhere you look. The town is famous for its winter sports - World Cup slaloms are held here every January.

Day 2: HIKING KRANJSKA GORA - JASNA LAKE - KRNICA VALLEY - KRANJSKA GORA (5 hrs, ↔ 17 km, ↑↓ 460 m) 

Let the your multisport adventure begin!  Your warm-up walk will take you out past the first of many beautiful lakes you'll visit on this trip: Lake Jasna. With the jagged peaks of the Julian Alps behind it, Lake Jasna is the perfect spot for relaxing. But save it for the walk back because there's more ahead. Continuing on through the Jasna Valley, you'll be greeted by the glorious mountain arena of the Prisank and Razor Mountains. You'll return via the “Russian Chapel” dedicated to Russian POWs who died during WW1 building the military road over Vršič Pass.

Day 3: CYCLING KRANJSKA GORA – BLED (↔ 40 km, ↑ 310 m, ↓ 620 m)

Today's activity takes you cycling alongside flowing rivers as they slice their way through lush valleys framed by towering mountains. At the alpine gateway village of Mojstrana, you will head into Krma Valley and then through Radovna Valley. At the exit, take a short detour along the thundering rapids of Vintgar Gorge, before heading into the fairytale world of Lake Bled.

Day 4: CYCLING BLED - KROPA - RADOVLJICA - BLED (↔ 35 km, ↑↓ 510 m)

Today you peddle to Slovenia's foremost blacksmith town, Kropa, and visit the iron forging museum. You can even learn how to make your own nail. Then cycle up to the lovely hilltop church of Jamnik for a classic postcard view of Slovenia: church and mountains. On the way back, stop in the beautifully preserved old town of Radovljica and its interesting beekeeping museum.

Day 5: RAFTING LAKE BLED (↔ 8 km, grade 2-3)

A three-hour adventure rafting trip on the Sava Dolinka river (grade 2-3). This trip is suitable for all, no extra experience or equipment needed. With a free afternoon in Bled you'll have time to explore its lake, row yourself over to the island church, and hike up to the clifftop castle for a splendid view across the lake and valley. Then end the day by treating yourself to Bled's famous cream cake (Kremšnita).

Day 6: WALKING POKLJUKA – USKOVNICA - LAKE BOHINJ (4 hrs, ↔ 14 km, ↑ 30 m, ↓ 830 m)

Today you will be driven by car up to the pristine forest of the limestone Pokljuka Plateau, from where you will begin your hike across mountain pastures and old farmhouses to a viewing point providing outstanding views into the Bohinj Valley. As you descend, you can stop at the little historic village of Studor for a glimpse into life as it was 150 years ago.

Day 7: KAYAKING OR CANOEING AT BOHINJ LAKE

A rest day or a gentle kayak trip on Lake Bohinj. 

Lake Bohinj, the jewel of the Triglav National Park. Spend a lazy, tranquil afternoon on one of the hidden beaches, take a circuitous walk around the lake, and then head up via the gondola lift to Vogel ski resort (1532 m high), for a great view across the lake and Julian Alps. Alternatively, you can hike up to the source of the lake, Savica waterfall. The choice is yours.

Day 8: DEPARTURE

After breakfast your tour ends or you can prolong your stay.
