At 1300m, the small, compact resort sits amidst thick pine forests within the Rila Mountains. The bustling resort offers many restaurants and bars providing a wide range of international cuisine as well as local dishes.

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 the sport for the first time, with an excellent ski school that has introduced thousands of people to skiing over the years.

Important information
Again, money should be taken in Sterling to change locally. Travellers’ Cheques are subject to a 6% commission and credit cards 10% approximately. Visitors should change their money into local currency as sterling is not widely accepted in the bars and restaurants. Although the cost of living is reasonable, you should bring enough money for the unexpected as it may be difficult to get hold of extra funds. Credit card transactions are made in US$ and commission can be expensive.

Visas
Holders of UK passports may enter Bulgaria without a visa for up to 30 days in any 6 month period. If you will exceed this duration of stay during your holiday in Bulgaria, please contact the Bulgarian Consulate before booking. Holders of full British passports do not need a visa to enter Romania. Holders of passports other than British must enquire at the Consular Department of the Bulgarian or Romanian Embassy respectively for their requirements before booking.

Pre-Bookable Ski Packs
You are strongly advised to prebook all ski pack items required as prices in resort will be approximately double the pre-book price.
