Unforgetable hike to Musala Peak in snow

Overall I had a great experience hiking to Musala Peak solo with Kamen from Plovdiv Trips in January 2025. He picked me up near my hostel, and then we went all the way to Borovets by car to catch the ski lift up to the starting point. During the hike Kamen was good at letting me walk at my own pace, which made it way more easier for me to focus on my steps and breath. Already before the hike I felt safe around Kamen, because he gave me much relevant information on the Musala hike regarding weather conditions, equipment and so on, when we were texting via WhatsApp. He did bring hiking poles, snow shoes and gaiters. I can highly recommend to go on the Musala hike with Kamen in the winter season :)

Operator response

Thanks Maya! You did really well! I'm proud of you ;)
