Vitosha, Bulgaria

Introduction

Close to the Bulgarian capital of Sofia, lies the resort of Vitosha. A gondola takes riders from the city limits up to Aleko at 1810 meters. The slopes get an average snow base of around 3 metres a season along with plenty of sunshine making riding here a pleasant experience on empty slopes, that offer trees for freeriders, but no halfpipe for freestylers.
