From Bohinj to Soča Valley Trek
3-Day Tour, Pick-up in Bled or Bohinj
Embark on a journey through some of Slovenia’s most stunning landscapes on our bestselling 3-day From Bohinj to Soča Valley Trek. Expect a captivating blend of high-alpine scenery, with rolling hills, towering peaks of the Julian Alps, and cascading waterfalls along the way. The trail winds through the mountains above Lake Bohinj, passes Slovenia’s largest alpine lake, Lake Krn, and ascends to the summit of Mt. Velika Baba, standing at 2,016 meters and offering panoramic views of the Alps and Lake Krn.
The adventure continues in the breathtaking Soča Valley, where we explore old alpine villages, flower-filled meadows at the foothills of the towering Julian Alps, and the emerald-green Soča River, renowned as one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe, together with its stunning gorges and numerous waterfalls. Pack a swimsuit — we might even take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear water!

It’s also an excellent choice for alpine beginners, as we spend one night in a comfortable mountain hut with the option of a hot shower and private rooms, and the second night in a welcoming inn in the Soča Valley.

Day 1 | Bled - Lake Krn Hut
After starting our journey in Bled, we drive to Lake Bohinj, where our hiking adventure in the mountains begins! We enjoy a slow ascent through a beautiful forest, with the shaded trail offering occasional views of Lake Bohinj below. As we reach the tree line, the views become spectacular, revealing an entire amphitheater of peaks and the shimmering lake beneath us.
After lunch at a picturesque mountain hut, we continue towards Lake Krn along a stunning trail. The route features classic alpine scenery, sweeping vistas, and a gentle, steady incline. Along the way, we pass numerous remnants from World War I, adding historical depth to the natural beauty.
Upon reaching Lake Krn—the largest high-alpine lake in Slovenia—we can spend the rest of the day relaxing by the water. We end the day with dinner at the Lake Krn Hut.
Elevation gain for the first day is around 1,167 m.
