Best Ski Resort for Intermediate Skiers in Bulgaria: Borovets - Intermediates Rating

Borovets strikes a sweet spot for intermediate skiers with well-groomed pistes that offer room to progress. One Snomad community member liked that "black slopes aren't too difficult so good for practising harder runs." The resort layout is easy to navigate - as Lina, a snowboarder, points out: "Easy to learn the slope map and not need to check it while you ski." Many users praise the excellent value ski school, with private lessons available for around £60 for two hours. If you arrive early to beat the queues, you'll find plenty of great routes down with options to hop back on chairlifts at halfway stations.

#2 Bansko - Intermediates Rating

Bansko is a hit with intermediate skiers and snowboarders. The well-groomed pistes offer plenty of blues and reds that are perfect for progressing your skills. One Snomad community member liked that you can "ski from top to bottom of mountain on full blue run," making it accessible for those developing their confidence. Kate, a snowboarder, praised the "long well groomed slopes" that are brilliant for intermediates. While it can get busy during peak times (especially at the gondola), many users report that the more challenging slopes remain relatively quiet. The majority of users think Bansko provides excellent value with varied terrain for those beyond beginner level.
