Borovets, meaning pine forest is one of Bulgaria’s first and most established ski resorts.

At 1300m, the small, compact resort sits amidst thick pine forests within the Rila Mountains. The bustling ski holiday resort offers many restaurants and bars providing a wide range of international cuisine as well as local dishes. There are bargains galore in the local shops and market style stalls in the small pedestrianised shopping area, and going out is extremely good value compared to home.

The ski area is particularly good for beginners, intermediates and families, who all love the ease you can get around this brilliant little resort. Along with the cheaper prices, Borovets is  an excellent choice of resort  for those trying out a ski holiday for the first time, with an excellent ski school that has introduced thousands of people to skiing over the years.
