Bovec
Tucked beneath the highest peaks of the Julian Alps, Bovec is the adventure capital of the Soča Valley — the launch pad for white-water rafting and kayaking on the emerald river, plus canyoning, zip-lining and paragliding. Come winter it's a ski town on the slopes of Mount Kanin, Slovenia's highest ski area, with views all the way to the Adriatic. Even at rest it's a fine base: a friendly alpine village ringed by waterfalls, gorges and mountain passes.
