We recommend securing your visit to the Vintgar Gorge by purchasing a digital Vintgar Gorge All-in-One Pass online, which reserves your entry time. If you miss your time slot or arrive at the VINTGAR Visitor Centre without a digital pass, you will need to wait for the next available entry. In this case, Vintgar Gorge All-in-One Pass can only be purchased before boarding the VINTGAR Shuttle (check the three VINTGAR Hubs) or online. For the best experience, visit the Vintgar Gorge in the early morning or late afternoon—not only for the most beautiful light but also to avoid the crowds.”

Are you drawn to Alpine or Forest Vintgaring? The one-way path through Vintgar Gorge is 1,600 meters long, partially running along sturdy wooden bridges embedded in the rock. This walk takes about 45 minutes. At the exit near Šum Waterfall, you can choose between two themed return trails, each leading you back to the VINTGAR Visitor Centre, accompanied by the characters of Vintgaring, brought to life through the audio guide. We recommend learning more about these trails before your visit to choose the one that suits you best.
