This under the godola is the hiking path to Mussala hut and especially in the lower parts often used by walkers so be carefull, there is a link between the chakar voivoda to the four men lift, but even you need 45 min walking up from the lift to this hut...

Surely if you were hiking to the Musala hut you would use the Musala pathway. With decent snow cover I reckon it would be a bit difficult to walk up under the Gondola, put it this way i've never seen any body walking up that way

Under the Gondola should be clear but there is forest on either side of much of it so some of it is very narrow and I should let you know that there will be hidden rocks and sudden drops.

I haven't been yet this season so could be talking out of my behind

No more trees are around this,but some walker's, it is declare as hiking path from the valley upwarts,so now the upper part are now known as the gondola pathway run, but be carefull, after leaving the Markudjik area, it isnt as easy at looks at the map, you are boarding and skiing between and over a small pine forest with small corners ended in a bridge and then with a lot of bigger stones and cliffs down to the small river. May be better and more fresh snow between Chakar Voivoda and ...

May be better and more fresh snow between Chakar Voivoda and Mussala Hut, try to check it with google maps.
