Soča Valley's de facto capital, Bovec, offers plenty to adventure-sports enthusiasts. With the Julian Alps – including Mt Kanin (2587m) – above, the Soča River below and Triglav National Park all around, you could spend a week here hiking, kayaking, canyoning and mountain biking without ever doing the same thing twice.
You'll find everything you need on the compact village square, Trg Golobarskih Žrtev, including a half-dozen adrenaline-raising adventure-sports companies. Among the best are Aktivni Planet (www.aktivniplanet.si; Trg Golobarskih Žrtev 19) and Soča Rafting ( www.socarafting.si).
Rafting, kayaking and canoeing on the beautiful Soča River are major draws. The season lasts from April to October. Rafting trips of two to eight people over a distance of 8km to 10km (1½ hours) and cost from €37. Canoes for two are €45 for the day; single kayaks €30. A 3kmcanyoning trip, in which you descend through gorges and jump over falls near the Soča attached to a rope, costs €45.

There are a couple of daily buses to Ljubljana (€13.60, 3½ hours) via Kobarid and Idrija. From late June to August a service to Kranjska Gora (€6.80, 1¾ hours) via the Vršič Pass departs several times a day, continuing on to Ljubljana.
