Your Flight Over the Soča Valley
You meet us in Bovec, and from there everything is taken care of. We drive you to the launch site, which changes depending on wind direction and weather. Some days you launch from the slopes of Kanin, the highest ski resort in Slovenia, with the Soca River curling below and Triglav visible in the distance. Other days, Mangart saddle offers views that stretch from the Julian Alps to the Adriatic Sea. On calmer afternoons, Stol provides smooth thermals and a gentle descent over the valley.
Before takeoff, your pilot walks you through everything: how the tandem harness works, how to position yourself during launch, what to expect once you are airborne. You do not need any experience. The pilot handles all of it. Your job is to run a few steps on launch and then sit back.
Once you are in the air, the world below gets quiet. You can see the emerald line of the Soca, the villages scattered across the valley floor, mountain ridges that disappear into the distance. Flights typically last 20 to 45 minutes depending on thermals and conditions. On the best days, with the right lift, you can stay up even longer.
A van meets you at the landing zone and brings you back to your starting point.
