Now is the perfect time to gather information about different places and towns that you can reach easily and make a great family mountain hike. Pirin Mountain is known for its amazing views, fabulous routes and lakes that are relatively easy to reach and are suitable even for families with small children. That’s why in this article we want to introduce to you 5 of the most important rules that you should follow for a successful and happy mountain hike.
- Start smooth and find a good trail that suits your activity level
Find a local, short but moderately challenging hike and familiarize yourself with it. Do some research online about the best travel time, elevation, how far you’ll be walking, and what people are saying about the trail. Take your time, you’re not in a race. Take time to enjoy the scenery and surroundings. It’s not every day you leave your office or home to see sights like these.
Staying at the Ruskovets Resort, you will be convinced of the beauty of the Pirin Mountains and the stunning views from the apartments, which is why we advise you to take a good look at the area and visit the sights during your stay in Dobrinishte.
- Check the weather
The weather can be unpredictable, so it’s important always to check the forecast a few days before your hike, as well as a few hours before it. This information will allow you to pack and dress appropriately, and change your plans if necessary. You may need to reschedule the mountain hike if thunderstorms are forecast.
However, this should not stop you to enjoying the great SPA area in the hotel, where you will be able to spend your afternoon while your children play in the children’s corner. Order yourself a cup of aromatic coffee or tea and enjoy a well-deserved rest, friendly and professional staff, as well as delicious food and a large space to walk and play outside.
- Tell someone about the hike
Tell someone exactly where you plan to go and when you expect to return. This way, you will be sure that no matter what happens, there is always someone to rely on. You can also inform reception that you are planning to do such a hike, and our staff will tell you more about the area and give you advice if you need it
- Pack the ten essentials
These 10 things are important to pack to stay safe outdoors. You can change them depending on the season. They will become your best friends on the trail, so get to know them really well.
