Description

Come and join me on this fantastic snowshoe tour in one of Europe’s most fascinating landscapes, the Rila lakes in Bulgaria. At the lakes you will get to spend a whole day hiking across a splendid landscape that will leave you speechless.

The Rila Mountains is the highest mountain range in Bulgaria, as well as and the Balkans. It is without a doubt, an incredible place to enjoy winter activities. Some of those activities include climbing, ski touring, hiking and snowshoeing, which will be the focus of this trip.

While walking on the snow around the incredible lakes, you will get to gaze at Bulgaria's natural landscape from a great height. Thus giving you the perfect perspective to appreciate its beauty.

This snowshoeing trip will take place in the Rila National Park. Inside of the park's boundaries, you will see the Northwestern Rila as well as all seven of the Rila Lakes.

We will start our hiking trip from the city of Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital. After that, we will drive for 1.5 hours to Panichishte or Malyovitsa, the principal starting points of our excursion.

Another great advantage of this trip is that it not extremely challenging. Hence making it accessible to almost anybody.

Join us and get ready to leave the chaos and noise of the city behind. By traversing on snowshoes around the Rila lakes you will you and enjoy the calm, whiteness and purity of the mountains. If that sounds like the kind of adventure you want to enjoy, just send me a request.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
