What Skiers Say About Borovets
Borovets is consistently described as a budget-friendly resort that particularly suits beginners and families, with multiple reviewers praising the ski schools and instructors. The ski area is small, with most intermediate skiers able to cover all runs within 2-3 days, and advanced skiers often find limited terrain. Value for money is a recurring theme, though several reviewers note prices have increased since Bulgaria adopted the Euro. Snow conditions are variable, with the resort relying heavily on snow cannons, and late-season visits often see limited piste availability and slushy conditions. The resort has a lively nightlife with cheap bars and restaurants, though some reviewers mention the prevalence of strip clubs as a family concern.

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 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!
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.
