This is a 5-day snowshoeing trek that covers the most interesting parts of the Rila Mountains, as well as the highest peak of Vitosha Mountains near Sofia. We will trace our tracks through the covered in snow trails of the Rila National Park and Vitosha Nature Park. At the end we will visit the world-famous Rila Monastery.
The accommodation is in comfortable family hotels in Govedartsi and Sapareva Banya villages at the foot of Rila where we will try the local cuisine of the region. Sapareva Banya gives some options for spa-treatments at the end of the tour.
We rate this tour as moderate to difficult, suitable for novices in snowshoeing in average physical condition, but having the right equipment for such weather conditions.
