July Morning on Vihren Peak, with a Spa Finish!
July Morning on Vihren peak with a spa finish - magic you have to live through! 🌄🔥
🌞 Greeting the first sunlight of July is not merely a tradition but a real ritual of new beginnings, hope and freedom. This year we invite you to live that magical moment with us - and not just anywhere, but on the highest peak of Pirin, Vihren (2,914 m).
Imagine:
✨ We set off upwards before dawn, lighting our way only with head torches and the stars above us.
✨ With the first rays the sky begins to blaze orange and pink, while from the summit the grandeur of Pirin opens out in front of us.
✨ And afterwards - a blissful soak in the warm mineral pools of the village of Banya, to finish the adventure with real relaxation.
Our programme includes a direct night ascent of Vihren, so that we can enjoy the sunrise from 2,914 metres, followed by a well-earned rest in the mineral pools of the village of Banya.
