Rila Lakes Hut is located in Northwestern Rila Mountains above the town of Sapareva Banya. The hut is built at 2135 m above the sea at the foot of the Seven Rila Lakes Cirque. It is probably the biggest building of its sort in the mountains of Bulgaria. And offers hotel-like accommodation, although the service is not at best level.

The hut is accessible along the asphalt road Sapareva Banya – Pionerska Hut and further by taking the chair lift or two hours of walking.

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a trail leading from Rila Lakes Hut to Maliovitsa Hut? What is the estimated distance and possibility to cover this distance in one walking day, during late September.
Thanks.
Yes, but too long for a day for most people, around 7h one way via the main ridge, around 5h via Vada and Lovna Huts
I’m wanting to stay in the Pionerska Hut on the 15th of July. Is there a email that I can contact regarding this. Many thanks
Wayne
You need to use their phone numbers, listed in Huts section, no email unfortunately.

Hello, I would like to know if this place still has snow in June ?

Some snow above 2400-2600 m in early June usually.

You can book via their website, listed above, or via booking.com. But the hut is a dirty and expensive place, not worthed – better stay at Lovna, Skakavitsa, Pionerksa or Malka Yurta.
How could I book one night stay in Rila Lakes Hut?
Is the hut still open in mid October?
