Snowshoeing Trek In Vitosha & Rila Mountains
Explore the beauty of nature amidst the magic of winter. Experience the serenity of the spectacular winter backcountry in two of the most appreciated mountains in Bulgaria - Vitosha Nature Park and Rila National Park. Even if you have not tried before, this tour will introduce you to snowshoeing – enjoyable activity that anyone who can walk will quickly master. The trek goes through mountain forests and meadows, alpine plateaus and peaks, valleys and slopes, in order to tire you delightfully before the evening spent in a cozy local family-run pension chatting over a glass of red wine and home-made delicious meals.
Snowshoeing is a bit harder than walking as the efforts in tracing the snow are persistent and sometimes rather demanding in terms of good physical condition.
