Snowshoeing Day Trips from Borovets

This region is considered as a must see place in Bulgaria. The distance from Borovets allows a day tour to the Rila Lakes on snowshoes. The options we may offer you are easy to moderate walks, suitable for families and beginners. Drive time is 1:15h each way. Then the trip starts with a chair lift ride up to 2140 m. 3-4 hours walk around the lakes. We start walking along the Dry Ridge until we reach the Kidney Lake. Further we descent near the Trefoil Lake, the Fish Lake, the old Seven Lakes Hut and above the Bottom Lake back to the starting point. Lift down to Pionerska Hut. In bad weather the lift might be shut down – then we have an option to snowshoe up to the biggest waterfall in Rila – Skakavitsa.
