Bovec - Slovenian outdoor sport center

The Bovec area with its natural jewels – emerald waters, green slopes covered by forests, and mountain peaks and precipitous walls – is challenging at any time of the year. Paragliders know both the summer and winter horizons above Bovec. Climbers who test the solid surface under overhanging rocks in summer can test their ice climbing skills in winter. Hikers who are exhilarated by blossoming nature in spring can enjoy snowshoeing in winter. Summer boating activities with kayak and raft are replaced in winter by alpine, tour or cross-country skiing. Downhill biking is replaced by extreme snow sledding. In addition, the Bovec area can be explored by dogsled in winter. Not only the steep slopes but also many scenic roads turn into excellent sledding courses, and cold days can be livened up by ice-skating as well.

Our local sports agencies provide excellent service for all of the sports challenges possible in the Bovec area.

Tandem Paragliding from Mangart Saddle – Bovec, Soča Valley

Tandem paragliding from Mangart Saddle is one of the most scenic and unforgettable experiences you can have in the Soča Valley. The takeoff point is located high above Bovec, near the Mangart Saddle at an altitude of around 2,000 meters, making it one of the highest paragliding takeoffs in Slovenia. From here, you'll have incredible views of the Julian Alps, the deep green forests, and the turquoise waters of the Koritnica River far below.

No experience is needed to enjoy tandem paragliding. You'll fly with an experienced, licensed pilot who will guide you through the entire process—from a short safety briefing to landing. The flight usually lasts around 20–30 minutes, depending on the weather and thermal conditions.

The hike to the launch point is minimal, and most transport is provided as part of the tour. The Mangart road—the highest in Slovenia—adds a special touch to the whole experience, offering jaw-dropping views even before the flight begins.

This flight is perfect for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone looking to see the Soča Valley from a totally different perspective. It's also a great opportunity to take amazing photos or just soak in the silence and beauty of the mountains.

If you're visiting Bovec and want to do something truly memorable, flying from Mangart Saddle is hard to beat. Just dress for the mountains (sturdy shoes and a windproof jacket recommended), and let the pilots take care of the rest.
