TESTIMONIALS

I had an amazing time! The runs were all unique and very scenic with plenty of time available to take pictures and enjoy the views. I loved the isolated and cozy feel of all the places we stayed on the trip. I also really appreciated that we stayed at all the locations for two nights, as it felt more relaxing. This is my second Rogue Expeditions trip and I will definitely be back for more. Every experience is so unique and I always meet such friendly and interesting people.

Such an amazing region of the world! My recent Alpe-Adria trip was my third Rogue Expeditions adventure and it was perfect. The overall beauty of the places we drove, the choices of the individual runs, and the non-running activities couldn’t have been chosen better. Running along Lake Bohinj, rafting in the Soca River, and swimming in the Adriatic Sea were my favorites, but I loved it all. I enjoyed every moment and am already planning next year’s travel with Rogue Expeditions

Excellent trip and holiday combining my love of running in different and stimulating locations whilst enjoying post run experiences in a new country. Everything ran like clockwork, the camaraderie built through the week and of course the culinary aspect of the entire 8 days was first class to the point where one might have mistaken the package as a cultural and culinary journey with much needed beautiful running workouts the following day! Highly recommend this trip.

This was my 2nd Rogue trip. The Alpe-Adria trip was talked up before I signed on and yet it somehow still exceeded expectations- this trip was glorious! The meals are next level, views are gorgeous, the planning (including adapting plans to the inevitable unexpected occurrences) is perfect, and the fantastic company on the trip may have still been the best part. 10/10, definitely recommend.
