Description

The meeting point of the tour is behind Alexander Nevski Cathedral, at the parking lot just in front of "La Cattedrale" restaurant. 

The transfer from Sofia to Borovets is about an hour and a half. Borovets is the oldest ski resort in Bulgaria. From there we will take the cabin lift "Yastrebets Express" for about 30 mins to reach the peak of Yastrebets (2369 m/7772.31 ft). This is the starting point of our walk to the Musala peak.

During the hike to the Musala Peak, fabulous vistas will open in front of you. Musala is the highest peak on the Balkan Peninsula and some say that in clear weather, even the Aegean Sea can be seen from there.

Highlights:

• Take the trek to the rooftop of the Balkan Peninsula
• Admire one of the most beautiful alpine landscapes in Bulgaria
• Be fascinated by fantastic panoramas and superb natural views
