Mountain Leader

Sofia, Bulgaria

I was born in the mountains and fell in love with them since I was a little kid. My father was an alpinist and I grew up surrounded by lots of mountaineering books from the family library. I love staying in and moving through a natural environment, no matter if on skis, crampons, bike, climbing or running shoes.

I started guiding in 2016 and I haven't stopped since then. What a great chance to turn my passion into my job! I'm a certified mountain guide in Bulgaria, climbing instructor and ski instructor. I'm working together with a great team of IFMGA and UIMLA certified guides. We work at Climbing and Mountaineering School in Sofia, where we give climbing courses.

We guide in all the Bulgarian mountains and abroad. In summer, we offer rock climbing, trail running and mountaineering tours; in winter, ski touring, freeriding, ice and mix climbing.

I look forward to sharing mountain adventures together!

He tailored the experience to suit our skill levels and ensured safety was always a top priority. His encouragement and positive attitude helped build our confidence as we tackled challenges along the way. The scenery was breathtaking, and Kiril shared fascinating insights about the local flora and fauna, making the climb even more enjoyable. Each stop provided not only a chance to catch our breath but also opportunities to take stunning photos, which I will cherish. Kiril's enthusiasm for the outdoors is contagious, and it truly made this experience unforgettable. Whether you’re a novice climber or an experienced adventurer, he has something to offer everyone.
