Welcome
to
Borovets ski holidays
Borovets ski resort in Bulgaria, is the liveliest resort in the
country. As well as offering some superb skiing and snowboarding
Borovets offers vibrant après ski nightlife.
The resort is split into two valleys with a Gondola taking you
up one side and chair lifts taking you up the other. The major
hotels are extremely close to the lifts, either a few hundred
metres walk or ski in ski out, making it a particularly ski
friendly resort.
The Borovets ski school is one of the best in Bulgaria and
therefore for beginners and intermediates this is an excellent
choice. For advanced skiers and boarders then don’t worry,
although it is a relatively small resort by European standards
there are some testing blacks and lots of accessible off piste!
Another superb attraction to this premier Bulgarian resort is
its superb value for money. Not only are lift passes, lessons
and hire very cheap but it is also excellent value when you are
in the resort.
In summary Skiing Borovets is a fun and great value ski resort
to enjoy with friends, family and groups!

Night time Skiing
Yes, you read this correctly, night skiing
is an option on your Borovets holidays. Savor the magic hour
when the dazzling floodlights begin to take over from the
dwindling daylight, and night skiing begins. For those who have
never tried it before, skiing under the lights is a delightful
experience, especially in February and March when the evening
temperatures begin to rise a little. But even in the deepest
cold of January, night skiing is worth the effort of putting on
extra clothing. Flying down the hill on skis in a pool of light
surrounded by darkness is a perfect way to unwind from a
stress-filled day. Even the ride up the chairlift at night is
magical, the lights of houses and towns twinkling in the
distance. Additionally, night skiing is an excellent way to get
more skiing time for your money. Night lift passes prices are
lower than daytime rates, and there are rarely any lift lines to
slow you down. It's an experience that is well worth the price.
What a great ski holiday opportunity! How many resorts in the
world can boast night slopes? Not many! No wonder Borovets is
the number one ski holiday resort in Bulgaria. Book with the
winter breaks specialists and have a legendary time skiing and
