  • Borovets Resort Info

    Eastern Europe's biggest ski resort (58km), Borovets suffers from many of the usual complaints about this finance-friendly region. Most commonly associated with budget-conscious skiers and beginners, Borovets has an excellent ski school, a fine snow record, cheap prices (especially for beer and spirits), lovely scenery - and it's only 90 minutes from Sofia. On the downside, there are unattractive buildings, skiing for better intermediates and advanced skiers is no more than average, the lifts and piste are kept poorly and there is the constant threat of theft, boring food and bad queues.

    But, many people regularly return. Why? Most veterans talk of the great teaching they have received and the low prices, as well as the varied nightlife available. You'll have to forfeit western creature comforts, but it can be well worth it. It's skiing in a very different culture and is, joy of joys, half the price of the Alps. If the skiing doesn't interest you, there are always site-seeing trips to Sofia and other historic sites to keep you busy, although the archaic transport systems can make this rather time-consuming.

    Overall, Borovets is a place to go to learn if you have a tighter budget. You also need to have a sense of humour and adventure, as it is very much the poor relation to Western European skiing. It isn't going to replace Val d'Isère as your venue of choice, but it does successfully cater to a completely different clientele.

    Snow Overview - Bulgaria  (snow news updated 31-Jan-2012)

    The heavy snowfall that blessed the Bulgarian resorts at the end of last week provided excellent riding on piste on Monday 30th January. The sun was shining, meaning the visibility was ideal to take advantage of the packed and groomed snow cover on the prepared slopes. The deepest upper piste snow base of our three featured Bulgarian resorts is reported at Borovets (200/240cm), while Pamporovo (210/230cm) has the deepest lower slope depth, measured at 1700m which is 80m below the measured depth of 200cm at Borovets. Fresh snow is forecast in Bulgaria over the coming days. Pamporovo is expecting the greatest amount of new snow, where almost 60cm of snow could fall by Tuesday 7th February.
