Founder and Main Guide

I’m Johannes Bergfors, from Göteborg, Sweden - now living in Bovec, after careful consideration. Former haute cuisine chef. Travelled five continents as a professional skydiving coach and photographer. Made dozens of flying films by combining my interest for arts and music with my degree in media communication. Hobby DJ and paragliding pilot with an interest in behaviour science. Fluent in English and Swedish, get by in French and working on my Slovenian. Coordinating events since 2013 and in the Soča Valley since 2016.

I thrive when witnessing the excited look in your eyes as you experience something new or make a deeper connection with someone. I’m passionate about sustainability, reducing our carbon foot print and conserving the beautiful Slovenian small town culture. I’m would like to introduce you to the people I’ve come to love from here. The honey producer in the mountain village, the river guide leading your raft, the sheep who cross the road and the grandma cooking your Frika. Without them, there would be no Meeting Mountains. 

I am a trained and certified Wilderness First Responder and Whitewater Technician and have been leading groups for more than twelve years.
