Bulgarian nature is really unique. With more than 3500 vascular plant species, Bulgaria has one of the richest flora in Europe. This great variety is a result of combination of southern latitudes and variable relief, including sea shore, plains and high mountains (the highest peak on the Balkans - Moussala, 2925m is situated in Bulgaria). What is more important is that Bulgarian flora has one of the highest percentages of endemic species. Among the most important of them are the White-barked pine (Pinus heldreichii), met only on the Balkans and in Southern Italy and the Macedonian Pine (Pinus peuce), met only on the territory of Bulgaria and former Yugoslavia. Luckily, many of the most precious ecosystems are preserved in National reserves and Parks. In Bulgaria we still have trees with age over 1000 years. The most famous are the "Granite oak" (Quercus robur, 1600 years old) and "Baikushevata mura" (Pinus heldreichii, 1300 years old)

Mountain adventure sports in Bulgaria are practiced in some of the most beautiful parts of the mountain ridges. This gives us the possibility to admire centuries old forests rich of rare plants and wild animals, while doing what we love most!

Vitosha Mountain
Situated just above the capital of Bulgaria – Sofia City, Vitosha offers perfect possibilities for outdoor activities. With short traverses we can make challenging runs in the famous chutes of Big Rezen Peak or beautiful freeride descents in the forests of Kominite. We can also tour along the numerous paths in the forests of Bistrishko braniste reserve and The Golden Bridges region as well as ride the wide slopes of Scoparnika peak after an easy tour from Aleko ski center.

Maliovica Valley, Rila Mountain
Maliovica valley is famous as one of the most beautiful in Bulgarian Mountains. Views of Razdavica granite rock needles and the alpine walls of Maliovica, Orlovec and Zlia Zab peaks are unforgettable. This valley is very popular among Bulgarian freeriders and backcountry skiers not only for its beauty, but also for the great possibilities for easy and safe ascents and a great number of descents with varying terrain and difficulty.
The Seven Rila Lakes Valley, Rila Mountain
This valley is also famous as one of the most beautiful in Bulgarian Mountains. The beautiful lakes situated just one above another and the wide mountain ridges give a feeling of transcendent tranquillity This valley is considered by the followers of teacher Peter Danov as an energy center. Here we have perfect possibilities for making numerous freeride descents with only just a short traverse from the ski drag. We can also make beautiful backcountry tours with varying difficulty.

Todorka Peak Region, Pirin Mountains
With its beautiful views of Vihren, Kutelo, Todorka and Strazite peaks and perfect freeride and tour possibilities this region is among the most popular in Bulgaria.
After getting off the lift, with short traverses and hikes our guides can take you to supreme untouched terrain. Thus, you will be able to ride a lot of routes each day, discovering the secrets and beauty of our backcountry. Steep forests with shining powder, vast open slopes, nice chutes and the tiny Bunderitca hut lie in your feet when you reach the upper lift station... And when you stop at the bottom of valley, turn back, take a look of your track some 700m above, you will understand why we consider this place the best for skiing and snowboarding in Bulgaria. Here, at the foot of Vihren peak, just several hundred meters from Bunderitca hut is the oldest coniferous tree in Bulgaria - the 1300 years old Baikusheva mura.
