Rila National Park, 2 Day Guided Snowshoe Tour

Of the major mountain ranges in Bulgaria, including the Pirin mountains and the Rhodopes, the Rila mountains are the highest. As a result, they make for a fantastic range to explore on a snowshoeing tour. And on this 2 day weekend tour, you will have a great chance to see a great deal of these amazing peaks that rest within a national park that also bears the Rila name.

Another great aspect of this trip is how accessible it is. The Rila national park is located just a one and a half hour drive from the capital city of Sofia. Also, regarding the trip itself, all participants need to be is physically fit enough for the tour because there are routes available for people of all skill levels.

The trip will begin in the Panitshishte – Zeleni Preslop area. From there, we will trek for an hour to the Skakavitsa hut. The hut is where we will spend the night. It is comfortable, and the views of the gorgeous Rila mountain scenery is spectacular. During that same day, you will also have a chance to hike for another 2 hours and visit the frozen Skakavitsa waterfall. Thus providing you with a glorious view of an iced over cascade.

On the second day, we will spend 5 hours hiking to and exploring the famous, and absolutely stunning Rila seven lakes. This collection of lakes is nothing short of amazing, and definitely worth every minute. Following the seven lakes, we will end the trip in the warm, soothing thermal pools of the Sapareva Banya village.

The Rila national park is an amazing place. And it would be my pleasure to guide you on this 2 day snowshoe tour through it. If you would like to join me, all you have to do is send me a request.
