conditions for skiing
and snowboarding in
park Vitosha. Lifts
and ski slopes are
provided. It is an
awesome place to
spend your winter
vacation.

Vitosha offers a wonderful opportunity for active
summer tourism. Тhe park has many eco-trails,
meadows and entertainment such as a rope park,
climbing walls and horse riding. It's worth going on a
hike or just having a picnic in one of the many
meadows.

the park there are
remains of fortress
walls, monastery , as
well as temples. They
should be visited,
