Rila and Pirin National Parks Classic Routes
€860.00 – €6,880.00
The best season for ski touring trips in Bulgaria is between February and April-May, depending on the conditions during the current year. We offer trips to Rila and Pirin Mountains which have the most suitable terrain for ski touring/ski mountaineering in the country. Further below you will find a sample program for a week-long ski trip in these mountain ranges.
We’ll travel to the most interesting parts of Rila and Pirin, climb up or use ski facilities whenever possible to gain elevation. Then we get into the backcountry and try to find the best slopes to ski back down. We cannot promise powder, but will find the most suitable slopes to ski, according to the current weather conditions. Accommodation will be at the foot of the mountains in comfy hotels and guest houses.
