Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I fly into?

+
Fly into Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE). Our shuttle pickup is on July 15th at 3:00pm local time at VCE Airport.

For departure, our shuttle drop-off is on July 21st at 12:30pm at VCE Airport.

IMPORTANT: If you arrive later than the designated pickup time, you will be responsible for your own transportation to our first stay and the associated costs. If you need a private transfer, let us know and we can coordinate that booking for you (estimated $200 USD one way).

Can you accommodate dietary requirements?

+
Your Soča Valley AdZENture includes all meals—those prepared at our Alpine Ranch as well as meals out at restaurants. We ARE able to accommodate any dietary restrictions on this AdZENture as long as it's noted on the Guest Form.

Please note: If you choose to select a specific diet, special meals will be prepared just for you and that is what you will be served. Changes may not be possible on short notice.

Example: "I don't eat seafood" means that our chef will design a special, non-seafood dish just for you when the rest of the guests will receive a seafood meal. You will not be able to 'try' the seafood dish as these meals are made to order specifically for each guest. Thank you for your understanding.

Why don't you share an itinerary in advance?

+
As a company policy, we do not share an itinerary with our guests. This is done with intention and for a reason. Our guests are often planning every aspect of their lives and others'—during our AdZENtures, we give guests the opportunity to sit back, relax, and enjoy the present moment.

Every night at dinner, we will disclose the following day's activities, what to pack, what to wear, and when we will depart. This allows guests to be prepared but also immerse themselves in the present.

If this sounds unbearable, this might not be the best trip for you. Note: most of our AdZENturers who had a tough time with this in the beginning end up loving the element of surprise in the end!

What kind of accommodation can we expect?

+
We'll be staying at our beautiful Alpine Ranch in Lepena Valley. We have four accommodation options for this AdZENture:

• Private room with ensuite bathroom
• Private room with shared bathroom
• Shared room with ensuite bathroom
• Shared room and shared bathroom

*If you are traveling alone, we will pair you with another solo guest
*Solo travelers will be paired with a member of the same sex

What can I expect for this AdZENture?

+
This Soča Valley AdZENture in Slovenia is full of unique cultural experiences. We'll spend our mornings enjoying a slow start with delicious local foods for breakfast and an all-levels, optional yoga practice. Our days will include a variety of adventures in the mountains, valley, and villages.

All activities are available to everyone with a moderate level of fitness and no prior experience or knowledge is necessary to participate in what we have planned.

Can I opt out of activities?

+
EVERY single experience is optional! AdZENtures chose the experiences on this retreat based on firsthand experience and the unique value each holds for guests. You are able to 'choose your own AdZENture' by opting out of any experience.

What can I add to my AdZENture?

+
If you'd like to add an experience to your week in Slovenia, you're welcome to! Let your hosts know in advance so we can coordinate that experience for you.

Available add-ons:
• Massage
• Whitewater Kayaking
• Whitewater SUP
• Skydiving
• Brewery Tour
• Whitewater Rafting
• Dinner at Hiša Franko (*** Michelin Restaurant)
• Have something else in mind? Let us know and we'll sort it out!

Is alcohol permitted?

+
Yes, we will provide a few local beers and wine that can be enjoyed with dinners at the Alpine Ranch. If guests choose to buy their own or more alcohol throughout their AdZENture, they are welcome to do so. We have a few meals out of the Ranch—meals will be covered, alcohol will be available for purchase at an additional cost to guests.

Guests are required to be respectful to all other guests, hosts and staff at all times and are expected to be mindful of their personal alcohol consumption.

Is travel insurance required?

+
Medical coverage is REQUIRED. Comprehensive travel insurance is suggested to protect your investment. Our Soča Valley AdZENtures are quite active, so insurance not only covers medical emergencies but also trip cancellation in case conflicts prevent you from joining.

If guests are unable to join the retreat, travel insurance will often issue a refund when purchased within 7 days of the original purchase. We advise that all guests book travel insurance within a week of submitting your deposit to protect your investment!

Travel insurance often includes air transport in the case of an emergency. Please ask us if you have questions about this and your AdZENtures team can give you some suggestions!
