The Sofia/Rila Mountains region
Borovets is positioned at an altitude of 1350m above sea level and is the most established and popular mountain resort in Bulgaria. The resort is located amongst age-old pine forests, on the northern slopes of the Rila mountains and at the foot of Mousala peak (2925 m) - the highest one on the Balkan peninsula. The highest piste in Borovets actually reaches a total of 2600m and has good snow covergae well into April.
Borovets was established at the end of the 19th century as a hunting place for the Bulgarian kings. More recently it has gradually become developed into a modern ski resort of high class and luxury hotels, haute-cuisine restaurants and varied leisure-time entertainment opportunities besides an excellent network of ski runs and lifts along the slopes of the Rila Mountain. The area is set to be developed further in the next few years as the Super Borovets project continues. This will increase the skiing area to over 100km of pistes and create more lifts and infrastructure. There is also a golf course planned, and many other summer activities.
The ski season in Borovets begins in early December and continues well into April. Due to the resort being located in a national park, it is also used for mountain-biking and trekking during the summer months.
Borovets is easily accessible, being at a distance of only 70 km from Sofia (the capital of Bulgaria) and 126 km from Plovdiv.
Borovets area
Borovets offers 45 km of pistes varying in difficulty and length for skiing and snowboarding. There are ski runs for beginners, intermediates and advanced skiers, designed with international markings and multilingual signs. Several floodlit pistes also allow late night fun on the snow. The Boroverts ski school has more than 200 ski instructors fluent in foreign languages and some of them are former professional skiers.
Mountain lovers from all over Europe converge on the resort to partake in skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, ski jumps and biathlon, ski-doo, ice-skating and night-skiing.
Borovets also offers fantastic apres ski and night-life with its many bars, cafes, night clubs and discos. A night out is great value for money especially with special 'happy hour' discounts and a 3 course meal can be enjoyed for under £10. There are many and varied restaurants to choose from, catering for most tastes, including fabulous Pizzas, Steakhouses, Mexican, Indian and Chinese. Local specialities are roasted meats served with flat bread and spices - which is just delicious! You may have heard that the food in Bulgaria is bland and boring - (but these are revues from tourists staying on all inclusive meal packages in their hotels) - it is simply not true. If you get into town and look around, you'll find plenty of good food (and wine!).
