Have you ever dreamt of skiing on the high slopes in Europe? If yes, then join me on this incredible ski trip in the beautiful Pirin mountain in eastern Europe.

Located in southwestern Bulgaria, Pirin Mountain is a beautiful mountain range which is also recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site.

This ski-alpinism trip has a lot to offer. We'll begin in the capital city of Sofia and drive to the Bansko area. The first day involves a warm-up with freeriding amidst the centuries-old pine forests of the lower mountain.

The following days, as we'll gain altitude, we will combine technical mountaineering like ridge climbing and freeriding to test some of the highest peaks of the Pirin which scale up to almost 3000 meters.

The trip includes traversing the Dzhamdziev ridge to reach Vihren peak, the highest summit in the Pirin. As you'll capture the summit, get ready for some jaw-dropping views. And imagine how amazing it would be to descend on ski from the top of this soaring peak.

Though I have designed a 4-day itinerary for this trip, however, you can extend or reduce the duration depending upon your requirement.

Regarding fitness, keep in mind that good shape is required. And, as long as you possess some basic technical mountaineering skills and know average skiing, you'll be just fine.

So, what are you waiting for? Dust off your ski-gear and send me a message now to embark on this amazing ski-tour in the beautiful Pirin Mountain in Bulgaria.
