A complete loop around Rila — 366 kilometres of mountain roads in a single day. This is one of the longest single-day rides available from Sofia, covering the full circumference of Bulgaria’s highest mountain massif. You leave at dawn and come back at dusk.

The route circles the entire Rila massif, passing through multiple valleys, forest roads, and mountain crossings. It is a long, demanding day with sustained riding from start to finish — not a sightseeing tour, but a serious test of endurance and concentration.

Maximum 12 riders. Lead and sweep throughout.
