About Seven Rila Lakes

The Seven Rila Lakes lie one above another in a staircase of glacial basins high in the Rila Mountains. In summer a chairlift helps you up, and the walk around them has sweeping views. Go in good weather, with warm layers and water.

Why it's on our list

  • Seven lakes in glacial basins
  • A chairlift in summer
  • Best from late June to September

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Seven Rila Lakes before you go.
