Guided Snowshoeing & Ski Touring Tours

For adventurous winter visitors, guided snowshoeing and ski touring expeditions offer a safe and exhilarating way to explore the Seven Rila Lakes region. Local certified mountain guides provide expert knowledge of the terrain, snow conditions, and avalanche safety, ensuring a memorable and secure experience. Tours can range from half-day snowshoe walks around Panichishte to multi-day ski touring traverses reaching higher peaks and cirques in the Rila Mountains. Equipment rental (snowshoes, poles, avalanche safety gear, ski touring sets) is typically available from tour operators or specialized shops in Sapareva Banya. Prices vary widely depending on tour duration and group size, starting from approximately 80-150 BGN per person for a guided day tour. Bookings should be made well in advance, and participants must have a good level of physical fitness.
