Bulgaria - Tourism - Bulgarian ski resorts and hotels - Vitosha
1800 m above sea level, Vitosha is only 10 km
away from Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. This is the highest ski
resort in Bulgaria. Vitosha is also famous for its rock formations,
some of which have volcanic origin and others are formed as a result
of climate changes. The most popular formation is the stone rivers,
or "moreni" at Zlatnite Mostove. The mountain offers good skiing
conditions during the winter. The ski runs vary in difficulty and
are suitable for skiers and boarders of any level of experience.
Vitosha offers six ski runs with various difficulty and length -
the green ski run being the easiest and the Vitoshko Lale the most
difficult. There is also a trail for ski running which is 9600 m
long. All ski runs have the necessary facilities. The mountain is
very nice and its location is a good opportunity to get involved
in the dynamic life of Sofia.
The hotels and chalets in the mountain are basic ones, with very
limited facilities and low prices. For guests with higher requirements
the hotels in Simeonovo and Dragalevtsi area of Sofia are recommended,
which have better facilities and offer very reasonable prices.
Ski rents are available near the runs or in the hotels. If you
are interested in real estates and want to buy cheap bulgarian
property Sofia has what to offer you. If you are a keen skiier
and don't want to worry for reservations you can buy very cheap
nice apartments in Sofia.
