General Information

This summer BVCC will be running a two week paddling holiday to the Soča Valley in Slovenia and the Briançon area in the French Alps. You are welcome to join us for just one of the weeks, or both!

We are still in the planning phase of this trip so have not opened bookings until we have a better idea of cost. If you are interested though we encourage you to register your interest join the WhatsApp group chat so that you can discuss the trip, decide whether it is for you, and be part of the planning process (this will also help inform the size of accommodation we need to book). The anticipated schedule for the trip is as follows:

  • Sunday 14th June: Arrive in Bovec, Slovenia
  • Monday 15th – Friday 19th June: Full days in Slovenia
  • Saturday 20th June: Depart Slovenia / Arrive in Briançon area, France
  • Sunday 21st – Thursday 25th June: Full Days in France
  • Friday 26th June: Depart France

We currently anticipate that those attending will drive / lift share to the trip destinations, though we are happy to discuss alternative arrangements if they prove feasible. Driving from the UK to / from Bovec takes two days; driving from Bovec to Briançon takes one day; and driving from the UK to / from Briançon can be done in one day, but we would recommend allowing for two. Therefore if driving the minimum practical trip duration would be as follows, though you are welcome to extend these dates and make your own arrangements on the way out / back:

  • Slovenia Only: Saturday 13th June – Sunday 21st June
  • France Only: Friday 19th June – Saturday 27th June
  • Slovenia & France: Saturday 13th June – Saturday 27th June

What does France offer?

We’ll be paddling various grade 1-3 rivers in the French Alps

Details

We will be staying somewhere in the Briançon area of the French Alps with an arrival date of Saturday 20th June and a departure date of Friday 26th June (6 nights). You are welcome to make your own arrangements either side of these dates if you wish to explore more of the country.
