Both offer excellent terrain for ski mountaineering and off-piste skiing from mid-January to mid-April, and days of perfect powder are not uncommon. We want to show you some of the emblematic ski spots in Bulgaria \u2013 but be sure there are many more. We ski varied terrain: meadows, forests, alpine slopes and steep couloirs.<\/p>\n<p>Every day we set off from the hotel after breakfast; take some snacks and sandwiches for the day. The long days of skiing end with another journey \u2013 into our culinary culture: forgotten flavours of slow-cooked meat and herbs in traditional Bulgarian restaurants, served with aromatic wine from local vineyards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rila<\/strong> is the highest mountain of the Balkan Peninsula. Its name is of Thracian origin and means &#8220;well-watered&#8221; mountain. It is also home to the Rila Monastery, founded in the 10th century by St. Ivan Rilski \u2013 the spiritual, educational and cultural centre of Bulgaria for centuries and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1983.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pirin<\/strong> rises between the deep valleys of the Struma and Mesta rivers. It is the second highest and the most alpine mountain in Bulgaria, topped by Vihren (2914 m). The Thracians called it Orbelus (the snowy mountain); later the Slavs named it Pirin after the god Perun. The range is a national park with a dramatic alpine landscape and more than 180 glacial lakes.<\/p>\n<p>This program is for people experienced in ski touring and off-piste skiing who are ready for adventure. If you need additional accommodation in Sofia before and\/or after the program, we can arrange it \u2013 just let us know in advance.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: The program may change depending on the weather and snow conditions, as well as the group&#8217;s fitness.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>* The price is per person. The program runs with a minimum of 4 participants. Maximum participants \u2013 7.<\/p>\n<p>* Reservation should be no later than 30 days before the program. Reservation is considered confirmed if payment is processed within 3 days after booking.<\/p>\n<p> &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/basecamp.tours\/en\/product\/ski-touring-week-bulgaria\/\">Read
