Welcome to Borovets Ski Resort

Beginner-friendly ski resort
Lively aprés scene with rock-bottom prices
Short transfers

Bulgaria's Borovets ski resort is revered for its great value, fantastic skiing and fun aprés scene. Loved by groups, a Borovets ski trip is bang on for beginner and intermediate skiers seeking a cheap skiing holiday and great memories.

One of Bulgaria's largest ski resorts, Borovets' smooth, forest-lined slopes reach up to 2,500m. This offers the resort a unique charm and fab visibility, even when it’s dumping.

Freestylers will be made up with the 250m-long terrain park featuring a sick mix of rails, boxes, and kickers. And after dark, Borovets’ lower ski slopes feature night skiing most evenings, so you can get some extra miles in before your first beer. Cheers!

Best time to ski in Borovets

For a budget Christmas or New Year trip, you can’t beat a Borovets ski holiday. Come January, the slopes quieten down but can be a little chilly, so bring all of your layers. And February is a great month for families looking for a good value half-term holiday in the snow. Thinking of skiing in March? You’ll enjoy warmer temperatures, longer days and even cheaper deals towards the end of the season.

Snow conditions in Borovets

The Bulgarian ski season is generally shorter than the Alps, running from December through March, but the pistes should have a blanket of snow in January and February. If you’re planning a late-season getaway, the snowiest weeks are typically mid-March, and with slopes reaching up to 2,500m, Borovets’ ski slopes stay open later than most other resorts in Bulgaria.
