Had the incredible opportunity to meet Viktor during Ice climbing course, organized by IntoTheWild.
During the course, he had demonstrated great professionalism - keen into learning us all tips and tricks of the ice climbing, constantly supporting our queries and needs.
He made that one unforgettable adventure for all - experienced and people meeting the ice for the first time.
Had a wonderful time on the ice with him! Highly experienced mountain guide, that people can learn a lot from! Such a pleasure, looking forward our next meeting Viktor!

I went for the full Musala traverse with Victor as a mountaineer with a little experience looking to try a brand new discipline of ski touring.
It felt like the perfect balance of a day out climbing with your friend with enough supervision and safety whenever required to make the experience completely safe. A brilliant day on the mountain, very memorable. Left with loads of great photos and memories. I rarely use a guide, but this time was exceptional. Victor even gave me a lift from my accommodation just to help me out, which was above and beyond.

It was a trip above our expectations. Although we have to cancel one day trip as the weather was completely terrible in the forecast somehow we managed to squeeze 1 backcountry touring day during the trip and spend 2 days off the piste - snowboarding among the trees;) We have to say it's like magic. It was our first backcountry touring trip. With the help and guidance from Victor, we managed to rent the split boards and climb almost all the way to the peak (4 hours!), and ride down on the power. The view and experience are both spectacular! We are looking forward to coming back next year when the weather and snow conditions are better and hopefully, we will be able to reach different Pirin mountain peaks. Thank you, Victor ☺

I had a great time with Viktor this summer in the Alps. We did few different routes of Trad mixed climbing and I learnt a lot from him but also I felt very safe!
-Viktor is a beast! So strong but I also felt super comfortable around him. He was patient but yet he knew just how and when to push! I definitely look forward to climb with him again.💥🙌

Victor is the best guide we've ever met. We did 3 days of skitouring with him. Even though the forecast was not too good, he made perfect itineraries to get the most out of each day. He was perfectly reliable and fair. Victor started with an easier route to see what we can do, and then every day we tried something harder, up to real ski-alpinism on the last day. He was always there to help us when we had problems. We felt perfectly safe with him all the time. He also shared lots of his knowledge and tricks - we learned more than on a skitouring course. We've had some problems with explore-share though - most of the prices of skitouring in Bulgaria displayed on their website turned out not to be up to date. But we have to admit, that the explore-share team did all they could to help us solve the problems and to find us a guide - all in a very polite and friendly way.

We were very lucky that Viktor was our guide. It was a pleasure to see the professional at work. Even though we were unable to summit Mont Blanc due to the stormy wind, he was able to offer us another program, which turned out to be a great experience for us.
Viktor is always ready to support your passion for the mountains while staying focused on customer safety at the same time.
Definitely will be back to Viktor, but first I'll need to improve my climbing skills 🙂

Victor is an outstanding instructor! His positive attitude and friendly manner creates great atmosphere in the very beginning. Then comes the perfect yet so clear demonstration of all the elements we have to learn. He has individual approach to each one in the course but also is leading and teaching us like we are one team. When it comes to your turn, he is so encouraging that to you have no choice but to bring out the best of you. I trusted Victor as he told me to, and I assure you, if you would like to gain an inside of climbing as sport you have to trust one man and that's him!

I was not sure what to expect and if I had chosen the right company to attempt the Mont Blanc climb..but I was so satisfied!! Both guides were amazing, in their knowledge but also in their attention to details and particularly to safety and their passion for the mountain sports .I would have followed them to much more difficult climb as i felt so well looked after.they were friendly, funny and caring and compassionate...Great people. I had no real idea as to what the program entailed but i was surprised to see myself doing things i would have never dreamed of or attempted tsuch as the cosmic ridge and ice climbing on the Mer de glace.They also never lost the focus that we wanted to make it to the top of the Mont Blanc and directed their energy towards a successful climb. Thank you Viktor and Bogdan.

YES, I do recommend the individual course of Winter mountaineering with Viktor Varoshkin! First of all is his smily face. It takes you immidatley through the road of the winter mountaineering and all knots, ice axes, crampons, ropes, belay methods, Abseil slings, Block and takle... If you are a complete beginner this course is ideal for you, because it will help you make your first steps. If you already have some experience in the mountains, it will be useful to refresh and organize your knowledge.
Winter mountaineering includes also activities like climbing and glacier hike. And at the end you feel like a part of the fairy tale of the snowy mountain and Viktor is the storyteller. The softness of his attitude and the easiness of his behavior make the process of learning productive and fast. I did thing that are far beyond my imagination I would be able to perform. Four days program strictly adapted and tailored according my wishes and condition. Among other things, you will learn how to walk with crampons on snow and ice, how to use an ice axe, techniques for using ropes, rappelling, navigation, rescuing techniques in a glacier and how to manage in case of avalanche risk. I am Extremely satisfied with the course.

The best guide in the whole galaxy! A great and dear friend to whom I easily and unreservedly entrust my life! A man who with an innocent smile and ease penetrated my mind and made me believe that I am capable and able to climb a seemingly impossible peak for me! Thank you for everything you do for me Victor and I look forward to our next meeting!
