Treat yourself to an active vacation in the three mountains around Bansko!
From May to the end of October, as guests of the Lucky Bansko aparthotel, you have the opportunity to join one of our mountain trekking programs in the mountains.
The treks are conducted under the guidance of qualified mountain guides.
Tourists are divided into two groups according to their level of physical fitness.
The transitions, in turn, are divided into two large groups:
For all participants in the hikes with a mountain guide, transportation is provided to the starting point of the route.
When possible and at the request of the tourists, transportation is also provided from the final point of the hike, in order to avoid the descent and its potential damage to the joints.
To take part in the hikes, walks or excursions organized by the Lucky Bansko Hotel, you must notify the hotel reception in advance of your wish.
You can join the guided mountain hikes organized by our hotel during the LuckyFit program.
In other periods outside the program, the hotel can organize a hike for your family, group of colleagues or friends on the day, time and route of your choice, but only with prior request.
The duration of easy mountain hikes is up to 2 hours, of medium difficulty – from 3 to 4 hours, and of difficult – between 3 and 6 hours.
Duration is not the only criterion for difficulty, so consult our team to choose the most suitable hike based on your physical fitness.
To make your experience as comfortable, fulfilling and safe as possible, our team advises you to equip yourself with clothing suitable for hiking in the mountains.
This includes:
It is a good idea to add a flashlight and spare batteries for it, sunscreen with a high UV factor, a compact first aid kit with basic medications and dressings to your equipment.
Don’t forget to charge your phone’s battery before starting your mountain hike.
The mountain hikes that we offer from the Lucky Bansko aparthotel are verified and are necessarily accompanied by a highly qualified mountain guide who is fully familiar with the conditions in the mountains and knows every path and route.
However, there are some safety measures that you should take to avoid any unpleasant surprises during your mountain adventure:
Before the hike, find out if there are any water sources along the route that are suitable for drinking. If there are not enough of them, stock up on water in advance from the hotel or the nearest settlement.
If you have no experience with mountain trekking in Bulgaria or are with small children, you can join one of the low-difficulty routes.
These types of treks are very pleasant, as the elevation gain is not great and the trails are very easy to walk on. In addition, the mountain guide takes into account the level of the group and takes frequent breaks in places with wonderful views.
If you wish to participate in an excursion, a walk in the mountains or a hike to a peak that is not included in any of our programs, you can ask at the reception of Lucky Bansko.
Our employees will listen to you and inform you whether your wish can be realized or not.
During the hike with a mountain guide, you will have breaks where you can easily organize a small picnic among the beautiful views of the mountain. It is mandatory to bring water and a dry pack with you.
