There are 31 miles of ski runs coming down Musala Ridge toward the hotel zone; the runs range in proficiency level from beginner to intermediate. The adjacent high-altitude Musala Lakes are popular tourist attractions as well, particularly in the summertime when many people hike along the nearby trails.
