Sušec: this easily accessible canyon is suitable for all skill levels, and is our most popular option for beginners and families (children ages 10 and up.)
It combines 30 minutes of hiking, followed by approx. 2 hours of jumping, sliding, swimming, and enjoying Soča’s refreshing current.
Fratarica: carved into the stone wall of the Julian Alps, this canyon is a bit more challenging and caters to adventurers who are generally fitter (ages 16 and up) and enjoy heights.
A 30-minute hike is followed by a 2.5-hour steep descent that requires the use of ropes and combines 8 m high jumps and 49 m high rappels. Enjoy the magnificence of nature in this thrilling adventure.
Predelica: one of the longest gorges in Bovec offers an even more challenging descent, so it can only be tamed by people who are generally more physically active and in good shape. Having some level of experience in canyoning or abseiling is a plus (but not mandatory).
