Holidays to Borovets

Bulgaria's first winter sports resort, modern Borovets is a purpose built village, with a lively atmosphere and equal emphasis on sport and entertainment. On the Rila Mountains northern slopes, its three ski areas cover 40km of piste, easily accessed by a good lift system. Hotels provide pools, gyms, saunas and a bowling alley, and bars and disco's blend with folklore events. Borovets is brilliant for beginners and has a ski kindergarten.

BEGINNERS - (Excellent)
The resort really comes into its own with absolute beginners. A good ski school soon has them on their feet and by the end of the week novices are confident enough to tackle the Sitnyakovo's gentle slopes. 

INTERMEDIATES - (Average) 

A dozen or so good reds to challenge various levels. Begin with the 3 mile ride on the Yastrebets gondola and descend on the sunny slopes of the Moussala basin or twist and turn through the trees to the village.

ADVANCED - (Limited)
The only real test of the experts skills is the World Cup run on the Yastrebets.

SNOWBOARDERS - (Limited) 

Scope is limited for the experienced boarder, but this is a good place to learn and sample the sport.
