Vintgar Gorge (Soteska Vintgar) Tours and Tickets

Q: What is Vintgar Gorge, and why is it famous?

Vintgar Gorge is a long, deep river gorge in Slovenia that visitors can walk through and see its waterfalls. It is famous because it is located near Lake Bled, Slovenia's most popular and famous tourist destination, so many visitors make a side trip to see Vintgar Gorge from Lake Bled.

Q: How long does it take to walk through Vintgar Gorge?

It depends on the route you take. Choose your return route on the 1-way path through Vintgar Gorge. The Green Route is 3.5 miles long (5.7 kilometers) and takes around 85 minutes, while the Red Route is 2.7 miles long (4.3 kilometers) and takes 75 minutes.

Q: Are there any guided tours available for exploring Vintgar Gorge?

You typically won’t find guided tours of Vintgar Gorge, as there’s not much to learn about the gorge, and your visit follows a set route. Instead, Vintgar Gorge is often a stop on guided tours of Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj; you’ll have free time to explore the gorge independently.

Q: Is swimming allowed in the water at Vintgar Gorge?

No, swimming in Vintgar Gorge is not allowed as it is not a safe environment for swimming and is also a protected area. If you want to go swimming near Vintgar Gorge, you'll find plenty of places to swim at Lake Bled, which is considerably safer.

Q: Is Vintgar Gorge wheelchair accessible?

No, Vintgar Gorge is not accessible to visitors with wheelchairs or strollers. This is due to two factors: the boardwalk through the gorge operates in one direction, creating a long circuit to complete, and certain sections are too narrow to accommodate wheelchairs and strollers.

Q: What should I wear and bring when visiting Vintgar Gorge?

When visiting Vintgar Gorge, it is recommended to wear closed-toe shoes with good traction, such as hiking boots, to navigate the sometimes slippery terrain. Sportswear and layers, including a raincoat, are recommended for Vintgar Gorge, as the gorge can often be colder and sudden rain is common.

Spectacular

This was the most beautiful tour I did in Slovenia. All the places were beautiful, but Vintgar Gorge was the most spectacular place. Our tour guide was amazing, she shared so many interesting facts with us, was kind to go at our pace and let us see everything with enough time.

I had an amazing experience on this tour to Lake Bled, Lake Bohinj, and Savica Waterfall. Loved this tour of Lake Bled, Lake Bohinj, and Savica Waterfall with To Do in Slovenia. Tilen was a great guide, and the views were incredible. Everything was well organized, and it was such a nice way to see some of Slovenia’s most beautiful spots.

A wonderful day out seeing the lakes

We had a superb guide and driver that were really accommodating as some members of our tour group opted in/ out of the various activities. Really loved the view of lake Bled from the top of the castle. Wonderful day trip!

Even better than expected.

The whole day was fabulous! Our guide was fantastic! The order of travel was different from the website itinerary, but that turned out to be the best. We ended with our highlight- the Vintnar Gorge.

Pleasant e-bike...

Pleasant e-bike experience. The shop owners were very thorough and helpful in giving directions and demonstrateing how to use the bike. The ride up the hill to the gorge was very easy with the pedal assist, and the gorge was in fact gorge-ous. Note for those taking a bus to Bled from Ljubljana for this: take an early bus (before 11am) and double check what the first stop is and use that one. Buses fill up and you may get passed by if you wait at a later stop.

Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Slovenia!
