Vitosha

Aleko ski centre is located at 1800 m altitude in Vitosha mountain, just some 22km from the capital's centre, Sofia. This is the highest ski resort in Bulgaria, perched on the northeastern slopes of Cherni Vrah (2290 m) within easy reach of the highest Vitosha peak, just above the treeline. The mountain is good for skiing in the winter and trekking in the summer. It is easily accessible both in the winter and in the summer but its weather is very changeable. Vitosha offers excellent conditions for snow sports, with huge skiing areas and many slopes with powder though the expanding winter sports centre of Aleko doesn't have the lively nightlife of the bigger winter resorts. Skiing opportunities are excellent from late December through to mid-March. There is a range of ski-tracks to suit all grades of skiers and snowboard fans.
