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.

I came to this resort as a beginner and did not know any better having never skid anywhere else.
I had a fantastic time. It was great to learn somewhere so affordable and makes going on a yearly trip with colleagues so accessible due to the price.
I found that there were plenty of blue and green runs to learn on, however when I was there, there was no way of skiing the entire mountain down using only blue and greens. If you are not confident enough for reds, you will need to take the gondola down from the top.
This was no luxury trip, but the people were friendly, the slopes were lots of fun, and the beers were so cheap. I am going back again this year with colleagues to do it all again!

Good for beginners but limited terrain and the mountains arent linked with the antiquated lift system so you have to walk if you want to ride both areas.

Not a big resort but great prices when there's snow the slopes are great! We were lucky this year and had amazing snow and snowboarded every day for 2 weeks, amazing holiday! Good options for accommodation depending on what you're looking for - Borovets for hotels right by all the bars and easier slopes, Samokov nearby for very cheap options, or Yastrebets higher up in the mountain to be closer to emptier, harder slopes and a bit more secluded and pricey. Easy to learn the slope map and not need to check it while you ski. Overall great value for money and good atmosphere. Only big downside is if the weather conditions aren't great and there isn't enough snow, there aren't that many snow cannons to make up for it, so you have to come at the right time which is hard to judge when booking in advance. But we had an amazing season!

Borovets, it is a lovely little resort with a decent amount of slopes ranging from easy To advanced its got a lovely atmosphere and the people are really nice. The hotel we stayed in was very well put together and the hospitality was great. The nightlife is also really fun with the bars being really cheap and friendly.

Limited snowfall made it tricky to manage but they sure knew how to make the most of what they had. Caused issues like runs being closed so was a little repetitive but that didn't bother us. We learnt so much at ski school and had an awesome time. Kids too. Food was a great standard in hotel and nearby restaurants. Would love to ski again!

Recently went for Christmas for the Second time there. So much snow the resort had no power so lifts didnt work all the time. Amazing snow though! Nice easy runs both sides. Cute little town. Not a huge choice in food. Hunters restaurant was great. Lots of stray friendly dogs around, great for photos.
All clean and tidy, well looked after. Friendly locals. Ive really enjoyed it both times. Small resort. But good value. Airb&b once and hotel the second time. Would hotel again. Traventuria good for lift pass. 144 for 3 days lift pass. Went alone and felt really safe.

Good affordable ski resort option. Accommodation options near the ski resort are plentiful and are of a good standard.
