Overview
Getting to the slopes is quick and easy from here, as the Yastrebets I gondola's close by – or, if you walk a little further, there are two chairlifts you can hop on that'll whisk you off to discover more runs in the Sitnyakovo area. Iceberg’s close to the centre too, so a wander to explore the town’s bars and shops is definitely on the table.
When you’ve finished on the mountain for the day, Iceberg has a couple of ways for you to relax. If getting together to swap ski stories over a drink’s your style, the hotel bar awaits, but for a more mellow après experience, the pool might be the place. There's also a fitness room for those who like to keep active while off the slopes or want to stick to their usual gym routine.
Breakfasts kick the day off with a hot and cold buffet, so you can sample some local meats and cheeses or fill up and warm up before heading out with some sausage and eggs. You’ve the option of upgrading to half board here too, which means 3-course evening meals each evening.

About Borovets
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.
