Casa Di Volče

Casa di Volče is perfectly located close to Tolmin. The location is ideal for summer and winter activities, including paragliding. .The house is located in a Slovenia village of Volče -within 2/3 minutes walk to a supermarket, and 100m from pub and fabulous pizza restaurant, and just 1.2km walking to the Soca Valley crystal clear, turquoise river, where you can picnic, sunbathe and enjoy the many water sports on offer. We did rafting and had great fun.  This is also where many of the Tolmin music festivals take place, so you can indeed walk to these festivals from the house, such as reggae, dance, rock, all taking place in July and August. Paragliding is a big attraction of the area. The area is also fabulous for fishing.

 

And equally superbly located for skiing , you are just over - 35km from the Kanin Sella Nevea ski resort, which is the Italian/Slovenian border, or if you prefer, again just over half hour is the Cerkno ski resort, so you have a choice of two ski resorts.
