The trip was booked about 2 weeks before our travels with Split the mountain. The communications early on was prompt and informative. On the day of our hike our guide... Read more Stoimen collected us from our apartment in Sofia at the expected time and drove us to Borovets. It is just over an hours very scenic drive and passed by quickly. After buying our cable car tickets we were on our way and 25 minutes later we arrived at Yestrebets hut to start our hike. At this point Stoimen suggested a nice circular walk to give us some variety on our ascent and descent. He ensured that we was both ok throughout the day and after nearly 3 hours of hiking we made it to the summit. A rewarding cup of tea was provided whilst we soaked in the amazing views from the summit. We then descended the usual route which we both found much easier and hiked back to Yestrebets feeling like we had an amazing day out with great company from our guide. If you are thinking of hiking to the summit of Bulgaria then please do not underestimate the hike and conditions that you could expect. A good pair of hiking boots and hiking poles will help you greatly and we were glad to have both with us. Overall a great company to arrange this hike with and a great guide to take care of everything, look after us and to share our special day with. Thankyou Stoimen!!!

Despite being the only non-Bulgarian the team made sure that everything was communicated in English.
The content of the course was great and I would definitely recommend to anyone who is considering taking such a course.
On top of this the location is also really beautiful and definitely worth the trip.
All in all I would definitely recommend to others.

  Amazing experience everytime - To my knowledge Nikyata is the best tour guide in Pirin mountain. If you want to get into splitboarding, ski/snowboard turing or freeriding definitely go for it. Bulgarian mountains although... Read more quite beautiful can be dangerous especially without proper training/equipment/knowledge. The split mountain team, helped us find the tours for our level of riding and we hit some of the best lines of our lives, while feeling safe and in capable hands. 10/10 would recommend !

  Magnificent adventure - My spouse and me took Split the Mountain guides to accompany us to Malyovitsa via ferrata climb. The guides were excellent. They arrived on time in set location, spoke very... Read more good English, were very friendly and inviting. We established great atmosphere right away. During the climb they showed professionalism, set and followed security rules and were calm and supporting. Their great spirit and positive can-do attitude played significant role in my absolute pride and joy of taking this adventure.
In addition to the via ferrata climb, they took their time to advise us for our other planned activities and made very valuable and helpful suggestions that assisted us a lot during the rest of our trip in beautiful Bulgaria.
Overall - highly recommend!
