Vintgar Gorge Parking Overview
There are essentially two parking options at Vintgar Gorge. The official gorge car park is the recommended choice for all visitors arriving by car, campervan, or bus. It is located approximately 2.5 kilometers from the Vintgar Gorge entrance. Parking is included in the “Vintgar Gorge All-in-One Pass,” which covers your entrance ticket and the shuttle service. A free shuttle bus runs regularly from this central car park directly to the gorge, making it the most convenient and sustainable way to arrive.
In addition to the official lot, there is a private car park situated right at the gorge entrance. However, this area has a very limited number of spaces and fills up quickly during the peak season. The fee for this parking spot is €10.
