We’ll also visit Borovets, Bulgaria’s oldest ski resort. Furthermore, Borovets is also home to The Rila Monastery, and features several spots for different outdoor sports.

We’ll meet at the Sofia Airport on the first day and transfer to a family guesthouse in Borovets for the night. Then, on the second day, we’ll take the gondola to ski tour and reach the summit of Musala. We’ll ski down to Borovets. Finally, on the third day, we’ll ski for half of the day around the resort and then transfer to the airport.

Ski touring on Musala with visit to Borovets in Bulgaria (3 days)

Top Guides

The Rila mountains and the Pirin mountains in Bulgaria are both incredible, beautiful mountain ranges. It is a treat to visit and explore just one of them. However, on this 7 day adventure, you will have the opportunity to explore both of them!

Also, because this is a ski touring trip, you will get to enjoy the trill of skiing on descents from the tops of some truly fantastic peaks. Those mountains include Mount Malyovitsa (2,729m), Mount Musala (2,925m), Mount Todorka (2,746m) and Mount Polezan (2,851m).

Each mountain range has a long list of unique highlights. And because there is so much to see and do, the days will be long. Some days will see us skiing for nearly 7 hours. Thus the need for participants to be in good physical condition. And while the terrain is accessible, there can be some challenging spots, especially in the peaks. So participants should also have some previous ski touring experience.

Just a few of the highlights you will get to enjoy on this trip include:
<ul>
 	<li>The village of Govedartsi</li>
 	<li>The Rila seven lakes</li>
 	<li>Borovets ski resort</li>
 	<li>Bunderitsa valley</li>
 	<li>Bansko ski resort</li>
 	<li>Bezbog hut</li>
 	<li>Sofia</li>
 	<li>Pirin national park</li>
</ul>
There is an abundance more of great things to see during this amazing ski touring week. And while it will be tiring,  we have no doubt that in the evenings, when you are relaxing and resting in one of the wonderful hotels where we will be staying, you will be more than satisfied.

So if you would like to spend a week enjoying and exploring the Rila and Pirin mountain ranges of Bulgaria, just send us a request. It would be our pleasure to guide you on this week long ski tour.

If you are looking for a shorter trip, we also offer a <a href="http://www.explore-share.com/trip/bansko-bulgaria-guided-free-ride-skiing/">1 day free ride skiing trip</a> in the resort town of Bansko.

Rila, Pirin mountains 7 Day Guided Ski Tour

The Rila mountains is the highest mountain range not only in Bulgaria, but in the entire Balkans. Hence making them a fantastic place for ski touring because the descents they offer are absolutely incredible. And on this 3 day trip, you will have the chance to enjoy 2 descents of more than 1000 metres at two of the most famous peaks in the range, Malyovitsa (2,729m) and Mount Musala (2,925m).

When exploring and descending peaks like Malyovitsa and Mount Musala in the winter months, challenges can arise. As a result, participants in this trip should have prior skiing experience. They should be familiar with parallel curves in several different snow conditions. Those conditions include firm snow, slush, crust and powder. Also, participants should be in good physical condition.

The natural landscape of the Rila mountains is stupendous to look at. And when you get to admire it from the tops of its highest points, it appears even more incredible. With that said, we will see to it that you will not only get to experience the thrill of the descents, but you will also get sufficient time to look around and take in the surroundings from the summits of Malyovitsa and Musala.

Some options will be available to you during the trip. While the itinerary is designed to maximise your time and experience, there is also room for choice. For example, on the first day, once we arrive at the Malyovitsa hut you can spend the day climbing the Camel peak or the Popova Kapa peak. Or, you can spend the day off-piste skiing using the nearby Malyovitsa ski lifts.

We believe you will have a great time on this 3 day ski tour through the peaks of the Rila mountains. So if you want to join us, please send us a request.

We can also lead you on another 3 day ski tour in Bulgaria, in the beautiful <a href="http://www.explore-share.com/trip/pirin-mountains-3-day-guided-ski-tour/">Pirin mountain range</a>.
