    Hi Lyuben!
    I’m planning on hiking in Rila mountains on next week (5-10.6). The forecasts for Rila, spravena banya and all the villages around the mountains aren’t that optimistic… (Lots of rain).
    On the other hand I saw on other resources that the weather in the mountain picks (Musala) and on ski resorts (borovetz) is much more dry. How reliable those sources are?
    https://www.skiresort.info/weather/rila-mountains/
    Is it possible that there is that difference between the weather on 1000 height and 2600 height?
    Thank you so much!

    Hi,

    I would like to go hiking in the Rila and Prin mountains but would like to go by myself, is it possible to just hike from hut to hut and stay there?

    Do you have a recommendation concerning a trail? Thinking about 5 or 6 days hiking and i like a challenge

    Thanks

    Jens

    Hello Lyuban, We are 2 adults and child 14 yrs planning to spend 3 days at Rila mountain.
    We tried to contact the Huts through the website but with no success…
    We would like to contact Seven Lakes Hut and Ivan Vazov Hut.
    Also would like to know if the chair lift to Rila Lake works every day and at what hour.
    Thank you very much!

    • Lyuben Grancharov Jul 5, 2019

      Hello, the lift operates every day 8-20h, except Monday 12-20h. You need to contact the huts directly in order to book, their phone numbers are published at: https://bulguides.com/skylab1/mountains/huts/

    Hi
    We are 5 friends planning to hike the Rila Mountains from cabin to cabin for 5 days at the end of June.
    several questions:
    1. Do you need to reserve a place in the cabins in advance?
    2. Can you refer to the site with topographical maps that will help plan the route?
    3. Is there concentrated information on distance and walking time between the huts in the Rila Mountains?
    4. Not sure if necessary but can you hire an English-speaking guide and what is the cost per day?

    Does any one know the contact details for Rila Lake Hut? The number on the website does not seem to work and they have not responded to emails.

    Hello, thanks so much Lyuben, this map is sooo useful for planning our trek.
    I have a few questions if you can answer or point me to a blog post:
    1. Do they have electricity, to charge my phone / camera overnight?
    2. Do they have provisions (food)?
    a. Is it possible to have dinner and breakfast?
    b. Is it possible to buy food for lunch (for after I’m off to continue trekking), for example bread, sausage, cheese, biscuits etc.?

    • Lyuben Grancharov Apr 24, 2019

      Yes, the huts have electricity and you can charge devices. They offer food and you can buy sandwiches for lunch (but not provisions like in a store).

    We would like to hike in very early April this year. Are the huts open then and what are the mountain temperatures like at that time? Will we encounter a lot of snow?

    Reply
    • Lyuben Grancharov Mar 27, 2019

      Hi, yes, snow above 2000 for sure. Temperatures vary around 0-15C. Better contact the huts in advance, they are open mainly during weekends. More info: https://bulguides.com/skylab1/spring-hiking-in-the-mountains-of-bulgaria/

    Hi I’m planning on going in the last week of august. Is it possible to just turn up at the huts or do I need to book before hand?

    Hi, I’d like to know how much time in advance I should order a night in the huts. I’m looking to arrive in June but I still don’t know how long it will be (probably 7-10 days) and the distance I’m about to walk each day. As I understand there are a lot of trekking options and I want to decide on the spot. Any suggestions?

    Reply
    • Lyuben Grancharov May 22, 2018

      June is still not the main season, so for a single person you can rely on just to appear at the huts without reservation.

    Hi
    Can i combine the 7 lakes hike with Skakavista waterfall as a detour on the way back to the lift?
    How long you think this will take?

    Reply
    • Lyuben Grancharov Oct 10, 2017

      Hi, yes, this is possible. Depends on your walking pace, but around 6,5-7h total: Rila Lakes Hut – Lakes Peak – Dry Ridge – Skakavitsa Hut – Skakavitsa Waterfall – Pionerska Hut.

    Hey Lyuben!

    I tried to call at Ledno Ezero hut and Musala Hut to see if there are open, but the stuff dont speak english unfortunately. WE would like to go there the 16th of October. Do you know if they will be open? And what would be the price?
    Thanks a lot ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Lyuben Grancharov Oct 2, 2017

      They should be open, but the best is to speak with the staff there. Would recommend to use Yastrebetz Hut instead of the above, as the conditions are much better.

      No unfortunately, every hut has its own price list – accommodation cost is between 11-15 BGN in a dorm.
