Accompanied by expert mountain guides, travel from the Bulgarian capital Sofia, to the Rila Mountains - Bulgaria's highest range. Be wowed by sweeping mountain panoramas during a 30-minute chairlift ride, and then set off on foot to explore the lakes. Enjoy personalized attention from our professional mountain guides (if you have selected the guided option). Depending on the group's tempo, all lakes may be visited.
