Tour Itinerary
A journey of about 2 hours lies ahead.
9:00 - Anyone coming by car meets in front of the Belmeken national sports base. Once everyone is there, the guides give the group a short briefing and safety instruction. We shoulder our packs and set off to carry out the day's plan.
About 700 m of ascent awaits us. The climb is relatively gentle and has no technical sections. We will have plenty of breaks and the pace will suit the participants, so that everyone reaches the summit. Belmeken is exceptionally panoramic and will reveal captivating views towards the neighbouring peaks of Ravni Chal, Sivri Chal and Ortachal. All smiling and pleased, we take a photograph and set off back. The climb can take on average 3 to 4 hours depending on conditions and the group's fitness - but then, we are in no hurry. Once we have climbed our peak we can have a satisfying meal at the restaurant by the sports base, and then set off for Sofia.
