The Julian Alps are a relatively undiscovered, undeveloped gem.
Sharp limestone summits, densely wooded valley bottoms and beautiful emerald rivers that tumble through rocky gorges.
Being part of the former Yugoslavia has protected Slovenia from the worst of Western style development but its close proximity to Austria and Italy gives it a relatively cosmopolitan feel. Imagine the Italian or French Alps 20 years ago and you're in Slovenia.
The chalet is located in the northwest corner of Slovenia, only 15km from Italy and Austria in the heart of the beautiful Soca Valley, renowned world wide for it's breathtaking emerald river. The small provincial town of Bovec and it's bars, restaurants and shops are a pleasant 15 minutes walk along the river or just 2 minutes drive away.
A number of budget airlines now fly to destinations within a couple of hour's drive of the chalet:

If you'd like to book the chalet on a self-catering basis and without airport transfers we would recommend hiring a vehicle as although it is possible to get to Bovec via public transport it is a slow journey with busses and trains running very infrequently.
