Nature, adrenaline, heights, fear, excitement, body control. That’s an adventure for every mountain lover! You’ll reach the alpine parts of Rila mountain where the unforgettable scenery of the Malyovitsa valley is awaiting you.

There we’ll be climbing the Via Ferrata - from Italian it means “iron road”. This is a system of iron ropes, rope bridges, staircase, and parapets fixed to the rocks. It will help you enjoy the world of rock climbing and alpinism even if you have no experience!

While climbing you’ll be able to experience unforgettable moments and amazing nature! And when you reach the top… Malyovitsa and Urdina valleys will be in your feet and some of the greatest Bulgarian peaks around you!

The tour starts at 08:00 am when our instructor will take you from your hotel.

We leave for Malyovitsa chalet which is 2 hours drive from Sofia.

After our arrival, we have an easy passage to the place where our climbing will start. It begins from 2042m above sea level and ends at 2240m.

Next, are the instructions and getting equipped.

The climbing length is 360 meters and there are a few different climbing thresholds with different difficulty which are connected with easier terrain. The metal safety rope is fixed and uninterrupted along the whole climbing route. There are some fixed steps at the hardest spots which can be used to step and hold.

Climbing Via Ferrata is an extreme endeavor which takes some skills, physical abilities and equipment. Gather some energy and get ready for an unforgettable adventure! We’ll take care of the rest!
