Born in the Soča Valley. Built around adventure.

Our story.

Soča Pulse grew from a simple idea — to share the river, canyons and places we grew up with in the same way we experience them ourselves.

Born & raised in Kobarid

This is home.

The Soča Valley for us isn't just where we work. It's where we live and where we grew up.

We spent our childhood surrounded by these mountains, rivers and forests. The Soča River was part of everyday life long before it became our workplace.

Growing up in Kobarid gave us a connection to this place that we now want to share with everyone who comes to experience it with us.

How it started

From a local idea to Soča Pulse.

The idea of starting our own adventure company had been in our minds for years. After many conversations between two friends, the time after the pandemic finally gave us the push to stop talking about it and make it happen. In March 2022, Soča Pulse officially began.

Neither of us came from the outdoor tourism industry. But the outdoors had always been part of our lives — rafting, canyoning, climbing, hiking and exploring the mountains and rivers around our home.

For us, starting Soča Pulse was also about choosing to build something here in Kobarid. Instead of leaving our hometown in search of work somewhere else, we wanted to create our own path and share the place we grew up in with people from around the world.

Our approach

Adventure should feel personal.

We created Soča Pulse around the kind of experience we would want ourselves — local, relaxed, personal and focused on the people in front of us.
