  • The Packraft Trail Slovenia runs throughout the summer, from late June to August, with arrivals on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, depending on availability. Selected departures are also planned for early September.

Transport
  • Flying to Ljubljana Airport? The airport shuttle is included if you book your flights with us. If you arrange your own travel, you can add the airport shuttle package to your booking. This covers all your essential transfers: from the airport to the basecamp, from the finish line in Tolmin to Ljubljana, and back to the airport on your final morning.

  • Travelling by car? We recommend parking at Ljubljana Airport and using our airport shuttle to reach the starting point and return from Ljubljana.

    Alternatively, you can park in Bohinjska, approximately 5 km from the starting point. However, parking is paid and unsecured, and you’ll need to arrange your own return journey from Tolmin. This involves a combination of buses and trains and takes approximately 3 hours.

Please note that the starting and finishing points are different, so keep this in mind when planning your journey.

Flights
  • If you book your flights through The Packraft Trail, the transfers between the airport and the basecamps are also included.

  • Flights include 7 kg of hand luggage and 23 kg of checked baggage.

  • Choose from return flights to Ljubljana (LJU) on Wednesdays, Fridays or Sundays, departing from Amsterdam (AMS), Brussels (BRU), Paris (CDG), Frankfurt (FRA) or Munich (MUC), depending on your travel date.

Stays
  • Throughout your adventure, you’ll stay at beautiful campsites surrounded by Slovenia’s stunning natural landscapes, with one night in an authentic mountain hut. The campsites have basic facilities, including toilets and showers.

  • Looking for a little extra comfort? Choose our Comfort upgrade and swap some of your camping nights for stays in cosy mountain huts and hostels with proper beds. You’ll still get to enjoy two nights of camping under the stars!

Food & Drinks
  • When booking, you can choose an Adventure Foodpack (vegetarian or meat). This way, you can enjoy tasty and nutritious meals during your packrafting adventure without having to worry about grocery shopping.

     

    The foodpack includes breakfast and lunch, which you can prepare with your cooking set while enjoying the stunning scenery. Meals that aren’t included can be enjoyed à la carte at restaurants near our partner campsites (at your own expense).

     

    You’ll also receive a cooking set to easily prepare your meals. This includes:

    • 1 gas stove
    • 1 gas canister
Materials
  • We’ll provide you with all the packrafting equipment you’ll need for the trip.

  • We’ve put together a packing list that includes all the essentials for your adventure.

Do you want to spend an extra night in Ljubljana? Then the trip takes 8 days, with the airport transfer on day 8.

What is the best time to do the packraft trip in Slovenia?

The packraft trip in Slovenia takes place in July and August, when the weather is warm and the Soča and its surroundings are at their best for a week of paddling and camping.

The price includes a whitewater packraft with safety equipment, instruction and a briefing by experienced guides, luggage transport between the basecamps, the Soča paddling permit and the Travelbase app with offline maps.

Camping equipment rental, the Adventure Foodpack and airport shuttles are optional. Flights are not included.

Can I park at the basecamp?

No, long-term parking is not available at the basecamp in Laski Rovt.

If you are arriving by car, we recommend parking in public municipal parking lots in nearby Bohinjska Bistrica or to park at the airport and using our airport shuttle.

Do I need to plan my own meals for the adventure?

You can either book our Adventure Foodpack or self-cater using local supermarkets and mountain huts.

Because grocery stores and huts are not situated on every single stage of the mountain trail, we strongly recommend booking the foodpack or carrying multi-day supplies.

What does the Adventure Foodpack include and how much does it cost?

The Adventure Foodpack includes daily breakfasts, trail lunches, a welcome BBQ, and a pizza night.

It covers nutritious trail food for the backcountry portions and two communal dinners, leaving you free to explore local mountain restaurants on remaining evenings.

Can I rent cooking equipment or buy gas on site?

Yes, you can rent a full cooking set on site or purchase standard screw-on gas canisters.

The rental kitchen package includes lightweight pots, a gas stove, cutlery, and gas. Gas cartridges matching standard outdoor burners are also available for purchase.

Are guides accompanying the trip? What role do they play during the adventure?

The Packraft Trail Slovenia is a self-guided adventure, allowing you to explore at your own pace. On days 4 and 5, professional river guides will accompany you on the water as you tackle the more challenging sections of the Soča River.

Throughout the trip, one of our rangers will provide you with all the information you need, take care of logistics, and be available to assist you whenever needed.

How is my safety ensured during the packrafting sections?

A local river guide accompanies you on the technical packrafting sections of the Soča River. Before you hit the rapids, the guide checks your equipment and gives paddling instructions, and stays at the key rapids to help anyone who needs it.

The rest of the trip is self-guided. One of our rangers is available throughout to provide information, take care of logistics and assist you whenever needed.

How many kilometers is the trip in total?

The 7-day Slovenia adventure covers approximately 85 kilometers in total.

This includes roughly 55 km of alpine hiking through Triglav National Park and 30 km of packrafting on emerald alpine waters.

How is luggage transport organized?

Main luggage and heavy packraft gear are fully transported for you between stages throughout the trip.

You only hike with a light daypack carrying daily essentials. Our logistics team delivers your main luggage and rafting equipment directly to each camp and put-in location.

What are the start and finish points? Where does the packraft adventure begin and end?

The Slovenia adventure starts in Laski Rovt near Lake Bohinj and concludes in Tolmin.

Over seven days, the expedition traverses through Triglav National Park down into the emerald valley of Tolmin, covering approximately 85 km.

How do I get from Ljubljana Airport to Laski Rovt and other locations during the adventure?

You can take our dedicated transfer shuttle connecting Ljubljana Airport, the start camp, and the finish point.

The shuttle covers:
– Airport transfer from Ljubljana Airport to Laski Rovt upon arrival
– Transfer from Tolmin to downtown Ljubljana on Day 7
– Transfer from downtown Ljubljana to the airport on Day 8

How can I book the shuttle?

The shuttle is automatically included when booking flights with Travelbase, or can be added separately to your booking.

If arranging independent flights or train travel, you can easily add the shuttle option in your booking account at any time prior to departure. Make sure your transport matches the shuttle hours.

Can I bring my dog on the Packraft Trail Slovenia?

No, dogs are not permitted on the Packraft Trail Slovenia due to alpine terrain and whitewater rapids.

The steep mountain trails in Triglav National Park and Class I-II whitewater on the Soča River are unsuitable for dogs. For dog-friendly micro-adventures, explore our routes in the French Ardennes or De Biesbosch.

What whitewater difficulty rating does the Soča have?

The navigated sections of the Soča River are rated Whitewater Class I to II (easy to moderate).

These sections offer thrilling yet accessible rapids that are easily manageable with introductory instruction and safety supervision from our guides.

What accommodation options are available in Slovenia?

You can choose between camping in tents at scenic campsites or staying overnight in rustic mountain huts.

Both options allow you to immerse yourself in the Julian Alps, whether you prefer sleeping under canvas or enjoying cozy alpine hospitality.

How difficult is the hiking in Triglav National Park?

Hiking through Triglav National Park requires a decent level of fitness and endurance.

While some sections are rocky and steep, the trails are manageable for active hikers with basic hiking experience and sturdy hiking boots.
