Hiking in the Bansko region – walk to mountain huts and high peaks

Hiking in the Rila and Pirin mountains means walking through two of Bulgaria's most beautiful and unspoilt natural areas. From wide paths along rivers to real mountain trails with views of peaks, glacial lakes and valleys, every walk here feels like a new adventure.

In the Rila Mountains, you can walk through forests, past crystal-clear lakes and historical sites such as monasteries and mountain huts.
The Pirin is known for its rugged character, dramatic landscapes and panoramic views towards Bansko, Razlog and the surrounding villages.
Both areas offer routes for every level: relaxed walks for families, but also challenging day trips for experienced mountain hikers.

On this page, we share our tips for beautiful walking routes in the region. Routes that we have walked ourselves and would like to share.
This way, you can prepare well for your walk and, above all, enjoy the mountains to the fullest.
