Bansko, Pirin mountain adventures
The Pirin Mountains – named after Perun, the god of Thunder, are Bulgaria’s wildest peaks, comprising numerous protected areas and no less than 60 mountains over 2,500 m, or 8,202 ft, high. Generally speaking, the terrain is alpine, meaning that most of the trekking is done above the tree zone. This tour features stupendous views of crystal-clear mountain lakes, green dales, extraordinary rock formations and rich wildlife. During the rest of the trek there will be opportunities to explore the mountains either alone or as part of an impromptu trek organised with the local guide. [More]
