If you’re simply wondering where to spend your summer vacation, imagine for a moment the following scene: you’re standing on top of a mountain, taking a deep breath and enjoying the peace and the view for a few minutes, before heading down to sip on a refreshing drink.
If that idea made you smile, then a summer holiday in the mountains is just right for you.
For those still undecided, here are a few more reasons why it’s worth packing your hiking boots instead of a beach towel.

CLOSE TO NATURE

Being close to nature is one of the main reasons why mountain holidays are inspiring more and more people.
City dwellers in particular seek balance in their fast-paced daily lives.
If you’re captivated by images of turquoise alpine lakes and breathtaking panoramic views, just plan a trip to Malyovitsa.

When there are no cars or noise for miles, only the sounds of nature—wind and birds—you feel very close to the natural world, whether standing on a mountaintop or at its base.
In the mountains, it’s easy to find peace—both for the mind and the body.

ACTIVE REST

If lying lazily on the beach all day isn’t for you, you can definitely fulfill your desire for activity by heading to the mountains.
A big advantage: even at the height of summer, mountain temperatures remain pleasantly cool.

Walk and stay active in the fresh air every day—what a great contrast to office life.
For us, the mountain is like a giant open-air gym.
We’re sure everyone can find a sport they enjoy here.
It doesn’t always have to be 10-hour hikes or energy-demanding mountain bike tours—sometimes a peaceful walk to a lake or hut is enough to make you happy.

There’s an incredible number of ways to stay active in the mountains—and just as many ways to relax.
Afterwards, you can recharge in the wellness center at Hotel Malyovitsa.
For us personally, there’s nothing better than sinking into bed in the evening with tired legs.
It simply makes us feel alive—during and after the hike.

A VACATION FOR THE MIND

Movement and closeness to nature work like an anti-stress program for many people.
It’s not just the body that finds balance in daily life, but the mind as well.
For some, this means taking time for themselves, testing new limits, and feeling the endorphins as they reach the summit.
For others, time in nature simply means being able to switch off and create space in the mind for positive thoughts.
