Overview
Borovets, located on the northern slopes of the Rila Mountains, is Bulgaria’s oldest ski resort, offering a mix of scenic trails and lively après-ski options. The resort’s slopes are ideal for intermediates, with wide runs and well-groomed pistes, but also feature challenging descents for experts. Night skiing and a variety of snow activities, like snowmobiling, add to the appeal. Borovets is surrounded by dense forests, creating a picturesque backdrop for skiing and snowboarding. Its accessible location, just 70 km from Sofia, makes it popular for weekend trips and family getaways.

Great time in borovets with a group of beginner skiiers and an experienced snowboarder. Plenty available to suite everyones needs in and off the slopes. Not the best conditions but Mother Nature cant be helped!!

It is the highest resort in Bulgaria and skiing at the very top is amazing, however if there is a strong wind these are often closed. There are three really
Long red runs (yastrebets 1-3) for advanced skiers and a blue / green zone at Martinivi Baraja for beginners. The resort is really close to Sofia airport. There are a few options for apres ski but more importantly there are lots of amazing restaurants.

I love riding at Borovets as its a family resort, quiet but also gets busy around the weekends. Very affordable compared to the UK and has easy slopes for beginners like me. Id love to be able to get to the long difficult slopes one day, but I totally recommend Borovets to families and groups of friends who are looking for a great holiday at a reasonable price.
