SUP, Hike and Paraglide Escape in Karst region and Soca Valley

Sup, hike and paraglide weekend is a mix of activities at a couple of very unique and fascinating locations. Active travelers that like diversity will definitely enjoy this retreat full of adventurous activities.

Paragliding across the wine valley with epic views of the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, paddle–boarding in unspoiled nature on the “emerald” Soca river and urban sup adventure right through the center of Slovenian capital city, hiking through forest to see the beautiful Kozjak waterfall and a magnificent scenic ride up in the Slovenian Alps.

Spoil your taste buds, while exploring Slovenian natural pearls from slightly remote viewpoints! See #mustsee, but do not follow the anticipated, touristy path.

ACTIVATE YOUR TASTE BUDS. Taste healthy and traditional local food and enjoy some great wine. Meet fellow travelers and gurmans.

ENJOY ADVENTURES. Be active on land by hiking, and active on water by paddle-boarding through beautiful landscapes. Have fun outdoors, breathe fresh air and forget about the daily routine.

Travel. Relax. Explore »off the beaten path«. Meet active travelers and experience the green Slovenia.
