Snowy Peaks & Ice-bound Lakes

The Rila Mountains hold some of the highest and most beautiful peaks in the Balkan Peninsula. Offering great summer walking, in winter the mountains here are transformed into an even wilder and more dramatic environment. Over the course of your week you’ll enjoy a variety of snowshoe treks. In the shadow of Mt. Maliovitza (2729m) you’ll trek in this beautiful wilderness area. Whilst snowshoeing from your pension in Guiletchitza to Panichiste, you’ll enter the celebrated Seven Lakes area.

Frozen Waterfalls & Cultural Highlights

Rest your limbs on a gentler day visiting some thermal pools and enjoying lunch with a local family. Snowshoe amongst frozen lakes to reach the 60-metre ice-encrusted Skakavitza waterfall – possibly the biggest icicle you’ll ever see! Finally you’ll visit two of Bulgaria’s historic highlights, Rila Monastery and Sofia.

Snowshoes

No longer the wooden ‘tennis rackets’ of old movies and story books, modern snowshoes are made of robust, lightweight materials, making them easy to put on and straightforward to use. Two trekking poles aid balance and away you go – into the deep white yonder!

Responsible Travel

We have funded a leaflet advising Best Environmental Practice for refuges and small hotels in Bulgaria which will enable them to reduce their impact on the environment.
