The first sledding area on Vitosha Mountain has opened its doors. There is now enough snow in the mountain, allowing the snow groomers to process the wide terrain. The zone is located above the Aleko Hut, with directional signs leading to it. The facility will be open throughout the winter if the weather permits.

The location is also suitable for corporate events, family celebrations and competitions. Various attractions with animators can also be arranged, such as contests for the best sled design, snow sculptures, snowball fights, tug-of-war and other fun activities.

The second specialized sledding area located in the Opheliite area is already operating at full capacity.
