ויטושה, רילה ופירין – הרפתקאות השלג הגדולות

We were looking at alternative of skiing and we found this snowshoeing trip in Bulgaria. Never been there but after this memorable experience, it will be our most preferred and often visited destination! The e-mails with which we started the communication with Traventuria were answered very fast from their side and we were sure that we have to book the journey with them! The positive and communicative guide Alex make our trip unforgettable and we felt in the right hands for 7 days ahead! He even took us amazing pictures every time someone from the group asked. The accommodations were nice and warm, beds comfortable for a perfect sleeping after each tiring day! The food – strong and enough! The van – new and appropriate for the long transfer times (Sofia – Bansko for example). Greetings from Belgium!

I've had a perfect time in Bulgaria. Met a lot of people, all nice and friendly. The program is very professional selected, good tracks and very good guide. Thank you Traventuria team.

We were a small private group from the Netherlands. We have experience in winter mountain and we were quite well prepared and equipt for this tour. Despite that some of the hikes were challenging for us. But most of the time the weather was with us. When it wasn't, our experienced guide was able to troubleshoot any unexpected situation. It was our second time in Bulgaria and the food quality didn't disappointed us. Thank you!

I have visited Bulgaria two times during summer and once in the winter ( for skiing ) but never for snowshoeing. That was the main reason I decided to do something not typical for me and booked the trip. Of course, I was a little bit nervous a few days before arrival as I did not know what to expect from the guide, from the hike itself (would it be harder for me, or not) the accommodations, food (as I have special diet) and so on. Before even booking, I contacted the company ( I remember it was weekend) and I got a message that my request will be handled on Monday the latest but what a surprise, a customer agent contacted me the same day, a few hours later, answering to all of my questions! My first impression was that I can rely on their services so as soon as I got my flights booked, I reserved my place in the program. Being vegetarian and allergic to lactose, I have some difficulties eating outside and I was a little bit concerned about the menu, I did not want to eat only potatoes and rice, haha. Luckily, I got the chance to point my special diet during the reservation process and I could say that along the route on every place we ate there was a dish, specially prepared for me, and I did not get repetitive meals more than twice. Last but not least, walking with snowshoes is not a big deal, of course, I felt a bit tired the first two days but then I got used to it and it was perfect. I really loved every hike but my favorite one is the trail to Bezbog peak. From Rila Monastery, on the last day of the program, I remembered my first visit in Bulgaria back in 2015 and I felt nostalgic (good old days). The winter fairy-tale is as much impressive as being there during summer. Moreover, I could say that in winter there are fewer people and my pictures were better, haha. To summarize this – highly recommended!

I loved the trip and the people in the group! We shortly became friends mainly because of the hospitality of our hosts and the friendly guide we had! I felt in safe hands let myself enjoy every minute of the winter adventure. It was my second time snowshoeing and I am happy I choose Bulgaria this year! The booking process was very smooth and when I had some questions I received reply very fast. I will definitely come back in summer as I want to walk on these trails and admire the green and blossoming charm of nature.
