Kom Peak on Snowshoes
Who has not heard of the famous Kom–Emine route? Let us see its beginning by climbing to the highest point of the Berkovitsa part of the Balkan range - the well-known Kom peak (2,016 m). Even Ivan Vazov marvelled at its beauty.
The walk is well suited to first steps in the winter mountains on snowshoes.

Tour Itinerary
We set off towards Berkovitsa and the Kom hut. The transfer takes about 2 hours 15 minutes.
9:30 - On arrival at the Kom hut the guides give the group a short briefing and safety instruction and check the equipment. We shoulder our packs and set off to carry out the day's plan.
The pace will be moderate and suited to everyone taking part. Moving through the wooded belt, we reach the ridge almost before we know it. Now we can begin to enjoy the snowy views around us. After a little more walking along the ridge we reach the summit point (2,016 m). We take time for a rest, something light to eat, a cup of tea from the flasks and photographs. The panoramas really do make you dream of one day getting from here all the way to Cape Emine.
Pleased with the climb, we set off back.

Headlamp - An absolute must-have accessory for every mountaineer. It may be necessary for the group to start a trek very early or finish the trek in the dark (force majeure).
