Join Milena, UIMLA certified mountain leader, hiking around the lakes of the Vihren peak and ascending to its peak, in the Pirin range, in Bulgaria.
2 Days
Jun - Sep
The Vihren peak is the highest peak in the Pirin range, one of the mountain ranges in Bulgaria. Ascending to 2914 meters, it is the second highest peak in the country.
In the summer its white marble rocks shine under the sun and give a special glow.
Leaving from the Vihren mountain hut (2000m), the ascent on the second day is the easiest route to the summit. We will reach the peak through the south face. Besides, we will enjoy hiking around the beautiful lakes in the area.
Do you want to join me to discover this beautiful area during 2 days? Then please get in touch with me for more information! Another hiking tour that I love in the Piring range is this one in Bansko.
Transfer to the Vihren hut. Several hours hiking in the valley, visiting its numerous lakes. Overnight in the hut.
Climbing Vihren peak. Then transfer back to Sofia.

I guide trekking groups, children’s camps, ascents in the Alps and ski groups in India. I have been traveling many times through the Nepali and Indian Himalayas and the mountains of Europe. I skied up and down Mera Peak, Larkye Peak and Saribung in Nepal, Grossglockner, Dome Des Ecrins and others. I also did numerous first descents in Bulgaria. I particularly enjoy off-piste skiing, climbing, alpinism and trekking. Please get in touch with me if you wish to travel in Bulgaria and live some unique outdoor adventure. It will be my pleasure to guide you here.

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!

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.
