Spotguide Soča
The MTB center in the Soca Valley is Kobarid. The pretty town is centrally located in the valley and has a good infrastructure with bike stores, bike rental and a shuttle service. It forms a good base for the singletrail classics on Matajur or Stoll. The fantastic MTB region around Bovec can also be reached quickly and easily from here. Kobarid is also a good starting point for a rafting or canyoning tour.
There are several (small) hotels in Kobarid, but the big thing in the region is camping. There are countless camping sites throughout the region, many with bungalows in a sophisticated camping format.
If you set off on a tour from Kobarid, you have to expect a fair amount of elevation gain. The climbs to Stoll and Matajur are very long, but mainly on small roads. An e-mountain bike or a shuttle ride is not a bad choice in the region. The shuttle cabs are geared towards mountain bikers and have trailers for bikes. The drivers are usually mountain bikers themselves and can help you choose a route.
Note on the Triglav National Park: According to the locals, biking is prohibited throughout the national park. If you are out and about in the park, you will find a lot of no biking signs. This is a shame on the one hand, but not so bad: Triglav National Park is very alpine and rugged and many trails are not ideal for mountain bikes anyway.

Getting there
Traveling to the Soca Valley by public transport is difficult. There is a train connection between Bled and Nova Gorica, which takes you to the Scoa Valley in the Tolmin region. Otherwise, we recommend traveling by private vehicle.
The biking region around the Soca Valley stretches from the Triglav National Park down to Nova Gorica. The region can be reached from the north via the Predil and Vrsic Alpine passes and from the south either from the Udine region or from Gorica. Both of these places have a highway connection, while the Soca Valley itself can only be reached via (well-developed) country roads.

Shuttles & Bike parks
The only relevant cable car in the region is the gondola lift from Bovec to Kanin. This lift provides access to a great but challenging biking area. However, the bankruptcy vulture is constantly circling overhead and it is never quite clear whether the cable car is in operation or not. Be sure to check in advance on site.
