Skiing

In Dobrinishte

Only 11 km from Dobrinishte, up in the Pirin mountain is the Gotce Delchev chalet (1412m altitude). It is the bottom (lower point) for the longest ski track in Bulgaria, which is more than 4 km (2.45 miles), and the longest chair-lift – 3.7 km (2.28 miles). They both go up to Bezbog chalet (2236m altitude). If you are not a very good skier you’d better go there because the ski track is very ramp and suitable for beginners.
