Description of the attraction
Mount Malovitsa is one of the most important centers of mountain tourism and mountaineering in Bulgaria, since it is here that the Training Center for mountaineers-instructors and ski instructors is located. This Center is widely known both within the country and in Europe as a whole.
The mountain is located in the northwestern part of the Rila mountain range, at the foot of the Mecha Polyana river valley. The height of Malovitsa is 2729 meters. The distance of the resort of the same name from Sofia is 92 kilometers, from Borovets - 40 kilometers.
The Malovitsa mountain range also hides one of the most beautiful lakes in Bulgaria with emerald water - Strashnoto.
The resort attracts tourists for many reasons: snow lasts here from December to April, the weather is stable and moderately frosty, and modern equipment of trails and marked mountaineering paths make Malovitsa the best place for winter outdoor activities.
You can climb the mountain both with the help of modern lifts (5 of them work here), and on foot, but the time costs will be at least 2-3 hours in this case. There are specially marked paths for ascents on foot, and there are also bungalows for rest on one of the ascent lines.
The total length of the ski slopes is 4 kilometers. Each track has its own name and difficulty level. For example, the longest is the "black track" - 1, 2 kilometers long. All mountain slopes in the resort are equipped with modern drag lifts.
