The main reason why Vitosha National Park is so popular is that it is a very good recreational area close to Sofia and easy to get to. There are excellent posssibilities for exercising both summer and winter. There a miles and miles with marked trails in varying landscapes, which are very good, infact driveable. We saw many people with mountain bikes during our hike.
There are many lifts and several downhill ski runs; the longest one 5 km and all together 29 km marked ones. There are even 15 km marked cross country tracks.
Equipment: Skiing equipment can be hired at the resorts
