Snowshoeing
Bulgaria’s oldest winter resort – Borovets offers perfect conditions for snowshoeing. That exciting snow activity has become widely known during the past years. Both the lower and the alpine parts of Rila offer excellent conditions for snowshoeing! If you have the spirit of an explorer and getting off the beaten track always sounds tempting to you, snowshoeing is definitely something you must try! The basics are relatively easy to master, and the experience itself is very rewarding. The snowshoes will allow you to hike in winter conditions when the marked eco-trails in the Rila Mountains are usually covered with deep snow.
