To offer the skiers a world of diversity...

If you're thinking of a skiing holiday, usually Austria or Switzerland come to mind, and there are some great resorts and packages on offer there - but you can also consider the Italian or French Alps, or cross the ocean and try your luck on the ski slopes of the United States.
And why not try Bulgaria, the jewel of Eastern Europe? Bulgaria has become a very sought-after holiday destination. It is a land full of culture, a wonderful Black Sea coast and spectacular mountainous ski resorts.
Borovets is the oldest and biggest mountain resort in Bulgaria. Situated at 1350m above sea level on the northern slopes of Rila mountain among age-old pinewoods, Borovets is located at the foot of Moussala peak (2 925m) - the highest in the Balkans.

Borovets is only 73km from Sofia and 126km from Plovdiv. Samakov is the nearest town - only 10km from the resort.

Established at the end of the 19th century as a hunting place for Bulgarian kings, Borovets gradually developed into a modern ski resort with an excellent network of ski runs and lifts along the slopes of Rila mountain.

Apres-ski includes tobogganing, heated swimming pools, saunas, sledges and even a flip in a helicopter. Bulgarian folklore evenings are a must, featuring lively centuries-old rhythms and dances while you taste native Bulgarian cuisine and world-famous Bulgarian wines.
