High Bulgaria

Bansko is known as a winter resort.

But when the snow melts, another journey begins.

Pirin rises above the city - a mountain of sharp peaks, stone ridges, glacial lakes and high-altitude routes.

Start in the old town

Walk among the stone houses and old churches of Bansko.

Try the local cuisine.

Then look up.

The real reason to stay longer is the mountain.

In Pirin

There are routes for different levels of preparation - from leisurely walks to serious high-altitude treks.

Don't choose a route just because of the pretty picture.

Check the conditions, weather and difficulty.

In the mountains, this matters.

Allow: minimum 2–3 days
Suitable for: mountain, hiking, nature, local cuisine
Best season for high routes: summer–early autumn
Combine with: Dobrinishte, mineral springs or Melnik
