Vitosha Ski Map
The ski runs of Vitosha are located between 1650 and 2290 m above sea level. The highest ski point is Cherny Vrah peak (2290 m ) where many runs of various difficulty start. The newest run is called VITOSHKO LALE (The Tulip of Vitosha), open in 1983, and is one of the best in the country with a high level of difficulty and a length of 2800 m. The five ski runs for Alpine disciplines face north. International skiing competitions are carried out in the upper part of these slopes. The slanting, wide-open nursery slopes, equipped with baby drags, are at the disposal of the novice. There is a 1 km long track for the beginners, while experienced cross-country skiers can use the 10 km long track at the bottom of one of the major ski runs.
