A SLO & Sporty AdZENture
Empowering adventures in the Alps!
There is a moment on this retreat that happens to nearly everybody.
It is usually somewhere in the canyon, standing on a ledge above a pool of water so clear it looks like nothing is holding you up, and the guide says you can climb back down if you would rather. And you jump anyway.
The Soča Valley is Slovenia’s adventure capital and it has no business being this under-visited. Emerald rivers, limestone walls, waterfalls you can swim into, and mountains that look computer-generated.
We canyon with professional guides. We hike in the Julian Alps. We paddleboard on water you can see the bottom of, and we find the swimming holes the guidebooks do not have.
And then we eat — properly, at a Forest Feast under the stars, with local wine and schnapps that somebody’s uncle made.
Six nights at an ecological ranch on five acres inside Triglav National Park. Eight of us at most. Morning yoga in a greenhouse studio for anyone who wants it.
Come with an appetite for being slightly out of your depth. That is the whole point.

Three Signature Experiences
Everything on this retreat was chosen on purpose. These three are the heart of it.
🏊 Canyoning the Emerald Water
Descending a canyon with professional guides — abseiling, sliding and jumping into pools the colour of sea glass. No experience needed, and every drop is optional. This is the day people talk about for years, and it is usually the thing they were most nervous about at breakfast.
🏔 The Julian Alps on Foot
Daily guided hikes into Triglav National Park — limestone ridges, mountain tunnels, and views across a valley almost nobody outside Slovenia has heard of. Paced to the group, and every day is optional.
🍽️ The Forest Feast
Dinner outdoors under the trees, with local wine and schnapps somebody’s uncle made. Slovenia has 24 recognised culinary regions in a country you could drive across in three hours, and this is the night that makes sense of it.
🌊 Plus paddleboarding, waterfalls and swimming holes
A stand-up paddleboarding excursion, waterfall explorations, hidden swimming holes, and optional morning yoga in a greenhouse studio. See the Inclusions tab for everything.

An Ecological Ranch Inside a National Park
Our home for the week is an exclusive ecological ranch on five acres inside Triglav National Park — rustic Alpine, quiet, and ours alone for the six nights we’re there. Eight guests, no strangers in the next room, no lobby, no front desk.
There’s a greenhouse yoga studio for morning practice, space to gather, and space to disappear after a day in the canyon.

A Greenhouse Yoga Studio
Optional morning practice in a glass studio, with the mountains right there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fly into Ljubljana (LJU). Airport transfers are included both ways — send us your flight details on the guest form.
Ljubljana is well connected across Europe, and many guests fly via Vienna, Munich, Frankfurt or Venice. Venice Marco Polo is also a realistic option by road if the fares work better.

No. Our guides run this for complete beginners every week. You will be fitted with a wetsuit, helmet and harness, and briefed properly before you get in.
Every jump and slide is optional. There is always a way to climb down instead, and nobody is made to feel awkward about taking it. Being able to swim is the one real requirement.

This is our adventure week, so expect to be active most days — guided hikes on mountain trails, a day of canyoning, and paddleboarding.
You should be comfortable walking several miles over uneven ground and confident in water. Everything is paced to the group and every activity is optional. If you want the gentler version of Slovenia, look at SLO & Savory in July instead.

Always. Plenty of guests come solo and leave with friends. With eight of us there’s nowhere to hide and no reason to. We’ll match you with a roommate in a shared room, or you can name a preferred roommate when you book.
Warm and green. Comfortable hiking weather during the day, cooler in the evenings at altitude, and afternoon thunderstorms are common in the Alps in summer.
The river is glacier-fed and cold year-round — that is part of the fun. Wetsuits are provided for canyoning. We’ll send a full packing guide once you’re booked.

Throughout this AdZENture, we’re excited to immerse you in the vibrant flavors of our local cuisine, thoughtfully curated based on seasonal and traditional foods.
Please note that we strive to accommodate various dietary needs and restrictions by offering a variety of options for each meal. If you have specific dietary requirements, we’ll do our best to make adjustments within the framework of our offerings. Our goal is to introduce you to the rich tapestry of local flavors, and we believe that includes a diverse range of culinary experiences.
If guests require custom meals beyond our standard offerings or last minute changes during the retreat, there may be an additional fee, similar to an upcharge at a restaurant. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to providing you with a delicious and culturally enriching experience.

We strongly recommend you purchase travel insurance. Some people are already covered through their standard health care, but travel insurance is useful for other areas of the trip too — Trip Protection in particular.
It helps protect against unforeseen emergencies, which can happen at any time, and against the rest of it as well: travel delay, lost or stolen baggage and personal items, missed connections, and plenty more.
One provider we recommend is IMGlobal, because it’s designed for adventurous travellers — overseas medical, evacuation, baggage, and a range of adventure sports and activities. It’s what we use ourselves. We don’t receive a commission — we just think it’s good.
On this retreat especially: check that your policy covers canyoning and adventure activities. Many standard policies exclude them.
