Borovets

Area Profile

Best known of the Bulgarian resorts, with a wide range of facilities and après ski activities (including sumo wrestling reportedly). Borovets has the largest ski area in Eastern Europe and a popular ski school and ski kindergarten, it was privatised in 2000. This is high value skiing in the famous Bulgarian wine belt, but beware of food shortages.

Snowboarders are welcome at Borovets, which has staged some international competitions. Although there isn't a terrain park, natural terrain features do tend to 'develop themselves' off the edge of the trails. The key areas are accessible by gondola and chair, only, unfortunately the highest and snowiest sector up on Markudjika is served by button type drag lifts. The toughest terrain below the gondola-served Yastrebets is, annoyingly for 'boarders, based on a single T bar, the only one there is here, but you can get back to the gondola base, conditions permitting, if you're prepared to follow a rather flat access route.
