I was born in the town of Lovech, Bulgaria, and inherited my father’s passion for the mountains and started climbing at an early age. Gradually, alpinism turned into my way of life and I graduated from the National Sports Academy, specializing in Tourism and Alpinism.

I've been an active athlete for many years and have won the Alpinism National Championship multiple times and the Bulgarian Climbing & Alpinism Federation Annual Award 3 times.

I have done numerous ascents in the Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes and I am the founder of the Alpinism & Climbing School, which has considerably contributed to the Bulgarian mountaineering and climbing culture.

I am also a member of the Governing Board of the Bulgarian Climbing & Alpinism Federation a certified mountain guide, and a climbing and ski instructor with numerous first ascents in Bulgaria and worldwide.

In the heart of the **Rila Mountains**, there is a majestic peak that stands out for its beauty and the views it offers, **Malyovitsa**. Join me on this **weekend journey** to reach the summit of this magnificent mountain in **Bulgaria**.

**Malyovitsa** stands at **2,729 meters**, and it is one of the most popular destinations in **Bulgaria**. It’s also known as the birthplace of **mountaineering and rock climbing** in the country. It offers **splendid alpine areas**, with a big concentration of **vertical walls**. So its fame is well granted, as a legendary **trekking, ski touring, and alpine spot.**

Furthermore, we can explore **Malyovitsa** almost all year round. During the **summer**, it offers fresh scents and a mesmerizing green palette. And, once **winter** arrives, a pristine layer of snow covers everything with a special glow. What’s more, we can **reach it very easily**, as it is only a 1,5 drive from the capital city **Sofia**.

On this marvelous expedition, we’ll also explore places like the **Orlovets, Petlite, Lovnica** and **Zilya zap** peaks. Plus, we can complete a fantastic **via ferrata** at **Kuklata**. Furthermore, in the summer, we organize group Maliovitsa adventures such as a 2-day Maliovitsa to Evil Tooth program, or a 2-day Maliovitsa and Scary Lake variant, so make sure to join us on a date that suits you. 

Please note this ascent will require the use of **alpine gear**. Thus participants must be at least **18 years old** and have a **good fitness level**, as well as **previous mountaineering experience**. We’ll encounter some areas that rank **4th grade UIAA**, with different rock structures, which can include **crevices, corners, chimneys**, etc.

**Below, you can find the different dates available for future departures. But if you have any inquiries don’t hesitate to contact us. And if you wish to participate, just send a request. It would be a pleasure to guide you on the awe-inspiring mountains of Bulgaria.**
