Winter hiking in Pirin Mountains - a tour including 3 glacial valleys /Banderishki, Bashlijski and Spano Pole/ and fantastic panoramas towards the whole mountain range!

Day 1

We start at 7 a.m. in front of the Vassil Levski National Stadium for the ride to Bansko. Once we stop at Shiligarnika, we start our hike to Banderitsa glacial valley and to Bashliyska gate. Banderishki Chukar, Muratov peak, Todorka and Vihren peaks tower above us. After Bashliyska gate, we gaze at spectacular views of Kamenitsa ridge, and the spacious Bashliyski glacial valley. We descend to Spano Pole shelter and enjoy a magical sunset.

Day 2

After Sunday morning tea, we put our snowshoes on and drift to the timelessness of the Spano Pole glacial valley. Its soft shapes enchant us and before we realise we have reached Banderishka gate to admire breathtaking views of Todorka, Strazhite, Ushitsite, Polezhanite peaks. Those of us who have enough energy can ascend Muratov peak. In the afternoon we are at the Vihren lodge and shortly after we’re in the minibus, being grateful to Pirin for this fairy-tale adventure.
