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?

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!

Is there any contact info for Pionerska Hut? We would like to book it in July 🙂 I couldn’t find an email or webpage.

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?

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.?

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?

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?

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?

    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.
