Prefer something calmer? Things to do outdoors in Sofia
From December to March the snowmobile tour on Petrohan Pass is the one you can only do in winter. The ATV, UTV and electric motorbike trails stay open, and the quads run in the snow. Both shooting ranges work in any weather; Gerena reopens on 7 November. The balloon, the balloon bungee, the gyrocopter, the plane, motor paragliding and the tandem skydive also run through the winter, but they depend on wind, cloud and visibility. If we cancel for the weather, you choose a new date or a full refund. The water rides return in June.
