Mountain hiking conditions are poor on Saturday, the Bulgarian News Agency told the Mountain Rescue Service of the Bulgarian Red Cross. 

It is cloudy and foggy, with temperatures ranging from 0C to -2C and light to moderate wind along the ridges. 

The snow cover on Vitosha Mountain measures between 20 and 25 centimetres, while at higher elevations in other mountain ranges, it is around 10 to 15 centimetres, the MRS said. Resort facilities are not operational.  

The MRS reported an incident in the Rila Mountains involving a Polish tourist, who required assistance after becoming exhausted and falling behind his group on their way to Musala Hut on Friday.
