We’re off to the Balkans to summit the third highest peak on the peninsula for this work-hard, play-hard weekend.

This mountain range has a lot to offer and extending over 2585km2 it is truly vast, it borders neighbouring Greece and has over 100 mountains surpassing 2000m high.

Bansko is a well developed ski resort with restaurants, bars and partying to match, but we're avoiding the crazy crowds of the ski season and conquering it's largest peak with a lavish 5 star Kempinski spa hotel to indulge in.

Bansko is also in Lonely Planets top 3 places to visit in 2025: LINK

HIGHLIGHTS

• Two nights in a luxurious Kempinski 5 star spa hotel
• Time to enjoy the spa and pools (they are included)
• Twin bedded ensuite rooms
• Hike Vihren peak - 2914m (we have approx 1100m of ascent)
• Visit the mystical 10th century Rila Monastery (UNESCO site) set deep in the remote mountains
• Sunday night in a hotel in Sofia city to enjoy the nightlife and bars of the capital
• Local and English speaking guides - approx 1 guide per 8 hikers
• Private transport throughout

HOLIDAY DESCRIPTION

Join us on a hike through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pirin National Park to lead us to Vihren - the highest peak of the Pirin mountains. From the rocky summit we see more mountains than we can count, crystal clear mountain lakes, meadows and woodlands with incredible panoramic views as far as Greece and across much of the country of Bulgaria.

To relax and indulge after our hike we’ll return to our deluxe 5-star Spa hotel in the historical mountain town of Bansko. With 3 good size heated pools, many different spa rooms and treatments on offer and even an outside jacuzzi and bar, this really is a work hard play hard weekend.

On our last day, before arriving back in Sofia to enjoy a night at the Bulgarian capital, we visit Rila Monastery to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of an architectural masterpiece that has its roots dating back over 1000 years and stands as a testament to Bulgaria's rich spiritual and cultural heritage, hidden deep in the mountains in a lush valley.

ITINERARY

Friday

We have a private minibus transfer to Bansko - the best and most popular ski resort in the Balkan mountains and set high at the base of Vihren mountain it's a popular location for hiking too.

Our Spa Hotel

The service at the hotel is great - they cannot do enough to help, the breakfast is lavish and the spa and 3 large swimming pools are fantastic. For independent reviews of our hotel check: LINK

Saturday

Hike: Vihren Peak (2914m)
Grading: Challenging/Tough
Ascent: 1100m
Hiking time: 6 to 8 hours

We set out early to explore the magnificent Pirin mountains - having some of the best preserved conifer woodlands in Bulgaria. The Pirin National Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 and is dotted with over one hundred glacial lakes. It's also the home of Europe's southernmost glaciers, Snezhnika and Banski Suhodol. Vihren Peak is the mountain’s focal point at 2,914 metres making it the third highest peak in the entire Balkan Peninsular (after Musala and Olympus).

We are hiking up to the summit, it's 1100m of ascent so requires a good level of fitness and experience of mountain hiking. If you have done our Lake District or Snowdon trips you will be ok - it’s similar ascent to those. Alternatively you can skip the Saturday hike and self explore or enjoy a day of indulgence at the hotel and spa.

Hiking boots with ankle protection and good winter clothing are essential, doing this 3km high peak is weather dependent.

Due to an early 7am departure we have a basic packed breakfast today.

Sunday

Activity: Visit Rila Monastery UNESCO LINK
Visit time: 2 hours

Today we visit the magnificent UNESCO-listed Rila Monastery. The monastery is located 1147m above sea level in a remote forest area deep in the mountains and has it’s roots here dating back more than 1000 years.

We have time to self explore and discover this famous but hidden gem of the Balkans.

Discover one of Albania’s great gems - the coastline that extends along the Adriatic and Ionian sea. A dreamy mix of clear blue waters and pebbly beaches, secluded bays and caves waiting to be explored in our kayaks. Join us as we discover this unique blend of coastal shores, cliffs and walks on trails parallel to the Ionian sea with some beautiful panoramic views.

Hike the stunning coastal trail, visit the 100m deep Gjipe Bay canyon, kayak along the coast to hidden bays and swim in the bright blue waters of Albania. Get a close glimpse of a different pace of life and enjoy the famous Albanian hospitality and local traditions.

HOLIDAY DESCRIPTION

Nestled between the turquoise waters of Italy and northern Greece and on the same coastline at Croatia, Albania is still a relatively undiscovered gem - think Croatia many years ago. From pebble/sandy Mediterranean beaches to rugged mountains, cliffs and caves it offers a tranquil and diverse experience in nature.

No need to compromise between a mountain or a beach holiday since this trip offers the best of both worlds. We enjoy the scenery beneath the towering coastal mountains as we kayak through the stunning crystal waters to Gjipe Bay and we have a hike included too.

This trip provides a balance between tranquillity and adventure as we have planned some exciting and optional activities. Choose from bathing under the Albanian sun or hire out power boats or do other watersports on the coast. You can also self explore the area or just enjoy the beach and sea. In the evening you have the beach bars and music to enjoy - it’s quite a party atmosphere at night.

Driving - There are several hours each way to the coast and back.

Outdooraholics have run this trip 27 times, it's the most popular week long hiking trip of any Meetup group in all of the UK, let us show you why...

The Amalfi Coast is world renowned so we probably don’t need to tell you too much about this breathtaking rugged peninsula where a 1000m high mountainous landscape lush with vegetation and wildlife drops rapidly into the glimmering sea far below. Set in Southern Italy, this whole area is a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Amalfi Coast is one of the most famous coastlines in Europe and offers some breathtaking walking including the “Path of the Gods” – considered one of the best coastal hikes in the world.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Visit the world famous Mount Vesuvius volcano
• Hike the famous "Sentiero degli dei" (Path of the Gods)
• Visit the Roman site of Pompeii and explore this ancient town that has been preserved by volcanic ash for nearly 2000 years
• Stay in a family owned guest house high in the hills and in twin bedded ensuite rooms
• 3 of the hikes starting from the guest house door
• Free Day with option to self guide a visit to the gorgeous island of Capri and explore the remains of the Imperial villa of the Roman Emperor Tiberius or visit Ravello or enjoy the beach
• Visit the chic and enchanting town of Positano – built into the mountain and nestling gently by the sea
• Stunning waterfalls walk in the lush and dramatic Ferriere National Park
• Explore the town of Amalfi – which gives its name to this UNESCO listed coastline
• See the famous picture postcard Amalfi coastline from the sea on a boat trip (optional extra)

HOLIDAY DESCRIPTION

We’ve designed this holiday to show you the greatest walks that this area has to offer as well as some of its world famous sights. The Amalfi Coast is dotted with seaside towns rich in history and boasts a timeless beauty interspersed with a lively, Italian buzz and vibrancy. A place you can really explore nature one minute in the remote mountains and feel really alive in the crazy, Italian buzz by the sea a short while later.

Our hikes take us along ancient paths and mule tracks where in many places time has stood still. We’ve picked some great hikes that showcase this landscape and offer some awe inspiring views. We never quite escape the coastal views and the ever present sparkling turquoise sea below, reminding us just how high up these mountains are.

The Amalfi Coast is a very steep coastline where villages cling to steep rocky hillsides defying logic and almost gravity, with houses coloured in gentle pastel shades.

Important Notes

The hikes on this trip vary but some of them involve long descents which can be on steep ground and also some very rough and uneven ground walking on rocks and boulders for long sections. Although this trip is designed as a mixture of hiking with some sightseeing too, it is only suitable for fit and experienced hikers due to some tough and steep sections on parts of the hikes. An above average level of fitness is required and it’s definitely not for beginners. Some of the hikes are only 3 or 4 hours long. With twisty mountain roads, the buses may not be suitable for anyone who suffers travel sickness easily.

Hiking boots ideally with ankle protection are essential due to the rough, uneven and rocky terrain. Two of the hikes we will be walking over very rocky, uneven ground which may require the use of hands in places.

ITINERARY

Friday

There will be a single fixed time complimentary transfer from the airport to our accommodation for those who are at the meeting point on time. We will then enjoy a relaxing evening meal and have time to get to meet each other in our wonderful rural mountainous surroundings. Our guest house is set outside the village a 10 to 15 minute walk away, so we escape the noise and stay in a more tranquil setting. The Guest House has a swimming pool - subject to it being operational (it usually is)

Saturday

Hike: Bomerano circular
Distance: 6 miles (9km)
Grading: Intermediate, one tough uphill
Ascent: Approx 500m ascent & 500m descent

Today we have a lovely circular hike from our guest house. We take in the summit of Monte Tre Calli (1122m high) from which we can get some great and far reaching views of the Peninsula as well as the mountain villages near where we are staying. A short but perfect hike to get to know the area and get our bearings.

There will be free time after the hike to explore the village of Bomerano and relax in the sun loungers by our private pool.

Sunday

Hike: Bomerano to Amalfi via Valle delle Ferriere Park
Distance: 10 miles (16km)
Grading: Challenging, some rough and uneven tracks and narrow paths in places
Ascent: 840m
Descent: 1400m

Another hike where we can just start from the guest house, we have some road walking at the start before departing into the dense wooded mountains on a breath taking trail that provides ever more tempting views of the lush wooded valleys and coastline that we will be exploring. With waterfalls, ancient ruins, mountain rivers and dreamy views this is quite a spectacular day of hiking. To finish it off we hike past scented lemon groves on a trail that delivers us to the coastal town of Amalfi which opens to the sea like a fan. We’ll have time to explore Amalfi’s historic streets and get some well deserved refreshments.

Monday

FREE DAY!!! Why not take the time to yourself to relax by the guest house pool, indulge in one of Bomerano’s numerous cafes or explore the surroundings? You can get buses from Bomerano to Amalfi and then onto most locations on the Amalfi Coast.

Or you can visit Ravello - a small town considered to be one of the most romantic and beautiful places in southern Italy. Settled on steep terraced slopes high above sea level - this lovely town inspires with memorable coastal views high above the coast below.

Should you desire a more exotic experience - you can visit the island of Capri on a self guided tour. Capri is one of Italy’s most stunning islands – a favourite for Roman Emperors who built their villas here. It is also a tourist magnet attracting 2 million visitors a year.

Trip to Capri and all of the self guided options today must be arranged yourself but the tour guide can advise.

Tuesday

Day trip to Vesuvius and Pompeii

Vesuvius is a world renowned volcano that dramatically brought an end to the Roman towns of Pompeii, Herculaneum and a few others in its great eruption of 79AD. Its fertile soil helps provide some of the great tasting local tomatoes and grapes (sure we’ll experience these in the wines!)

Pompeii is an experience to visit, the ruins being mesmerising, fascinating and quite poignant. It’s surprisingly well preserved for a 2000 year old town, a true time capsule from the days when the Roman Empire ruled much of the world and can really feel like walking around a Roman town. Pompeii offers a fascinating glimpse into the everyday life of the ancient Roman world including the remains of bakeries, brothels, baths and numerous cobbled streets. You can explore this site either by yourself or if you prefer you can opt for one of the local guides who are usually available at the entrance (variable rates - payable direct to the guide).

You will need to pay the entry to these attractions locally (approx 11 to 16 Euros each plus another approx 10 Euros at Pompeii for a guided tour, if you choose).

Vesuvius needs advance booking so we will book for EVERYONE on the trip, if you do not want to see Vesuvius please let us know AT LEAST 28 days prior. Also, visiting is subject to weather and tickets being released to the public for sale, they are not always available, if they are not available for our trip dates we will have a walk on Vesuvius instead of visiting the summit.

We have also arranged a private licensed transfer by coach.

Wednesday

Hike: The famous "Sentiero degli dei" (Path of the Gods)
Distance: 4 miles (6km) (option to lengthen)
Grading: Beginners/Intermediate, rocky in places
Ascent: 350m

We’re saving this epic hike until our last full day. We hike a winding trail that delicately hugs the rugged mountains as it follows their twists and turns. We get the most dramatic and lofty views of the trip as for much of the hike we can look down to the sea far below. We pass ancient houses, vineyards, woodland and a goat farm or two.

We finish in Positano – considered to be the most picturesque and photogenic town on the coastline. Steeply stacked houses literally tumble down the mountain towards the sea dotted with the most diverse range of pastel colours creating quite a captivating setting. We explore the town losing ourselves in a maze of alleys, a visit to the beach and no doubt a good cafe too are on the cards. You can also explore some very chic boutique shops. We then take a boat trip to Amalfi and return to our guest house.

Thursday

After breakfast we depart for the airport. You may wish to stay on for a few days to explore the area further or perhaps visit Rome (which has an airport with flights back to London) for a few days on the high speed train from Naples which whisks you away in around 1 hour 15 at 300kmph. Usually about 1/3 of the group choose to stay on.
