Hotels in Vitosha Mountain, Bulgaria
Vitosha Mountain sits just outside Sofia, Bulgaria, with a climate that brings snowy winters (often below 32°F / 0°C) and cool summers (around 68°F / 20°C). It's famous for being one of the easiest mountains to reach from a capital city, so you can ski on its slopes from December to March, then hike to the Stone River (a pile of boulders left by glaciers) when the snow melts. In summer, hit the Aleko hut trails for panoramic views of Sofia, or if you're visiting in winter, grab a rental at the Vitosha Ski Center and carve down 20 miles of runs.
