HIGHLIGHTS
  • Hike with snowshoes through the Bulgarian Mountains
  • Snowshoe through old mountain forests, high plateaus and stunning winter scenery
  • Revel in the beauty of nature amid winter
  • Visit the UNESCO-listed Rila Monastery
This guided group snowshoeing trek passes old mountain forests, high plateaus, steep slopes, and valleys, tiring us pleasantly before an evening spent in a peasant family hotel with a glass of red wine and appetizing local specialties. Revel in the beauty of nature amid winter and sense the calm of winter magic in three of Bulgaria’s best-loved mountain parks: the Vitosha Nature Park, and Rila and Pirin national parks. The itinerary also includes a call at one of Bulgaria’s most renowned sights: the UNESCO-listed Rila Monastery.

Snowshoe walking may appear easy and fun, yet it still calls for some stamina because walking through snow can be tiring! Suitable for beginner or inexperienced snowshoers, you will rapidly get used to using the poles and snowshoes on thick, fluffy virgin mountain snow. The program is moderate to difficult and suitable for people in good physical shape. Depending on the weather and snow cover, your guide may change the proposed routes.
