Seven Rila Lakes Small Group Day Trip
Overview of the tour in Sofia
The Seven Rila Lakes are just 1, 30 h away from the capital Sofia, which makes them a great day trip in nature. All seven of the lakes have their own name which reflects its typical shape or characteristics. They are situated between 2,100 and 2,500 meters above sea level. In winter, they are frozen over and covered in snow; in summer, once melted, they are clear emerald green and are great for a picnic.
The meeting point for the tour is behind Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, next to the café La Cathedrale. A comfortable minivan will take you to The Panichishte Resort cable car, which goes to us to the Seven Rila Lakes Cirque. The hiking path is of moderate difficulty, and it takes about 4–5 hours.
Food: if you have forgotten to take a lunch pack or a sandwich with you, you can take advantage of the meals on offer in the two huts on our way.
Most times the group size is 4–8 people.
