Overview

The modern Hotel Rila is a great all-rounder for your ski holiday. It's in a prime position, at the foot of the nursery slopes, opposite the Martinovi Baraki chairlift. If you fancy exploring the town, you’re just a short walk from the resort’s many restaurants, bars and shops. Or if you’d rather stay inside, you can spend the evening with a view of the slopes from the Terrace Lounge, or else cosied up by the fire in the Champions Lobby Bar.

The spa here is extra special. Head for a post-piste splash in the big indoor pool, or relax in one of the two hot tubs. For an extra charge, there’s also saunas, a steam room, cryo cabin, Turkish bath and relaxation area – plenty of space to indulge. A popular choice with families, little ones are well looked after too. The hotel runs its own nursery, ski kindergarten and kid’s entertainment, and there are several game rooms too – that's your off-slope fun sorted.

Breakfast and dinner are both served buffet style, with a great variety of dishes to choose from every evening. Book a table at the à la carte Restaurant Samakovi – it's a gourmet affair here, with an excellent wine selection to match.

These are best suited for beginners and intermediates and are accessed by their much improved lift systems including chairlifts and gondolas. The Borosports Snow Park is a hit with boarders who wish to improve their skills. Reliable snow coverage is between mid December and the end of April. Borovets is easily accessible, located just 90 minutes from Sofia Airport.

The resort which has hosted World Cup competitions twice is surrounded by forests on Rila Mountain which are perfect for the torchlit walks - a highlight to any holiday. Other activities include evening ski shows and workshops for all ages, sleigh rides, snowmobilies, leisure pool access and there's even a bowling alley.

The modern town centre has a good choice of modern hotels, restaurants, shops, nightclubs and bars; ideal for soaking up the Bulgarian culture.
