Borovets is the biggest mountain resort in Bulgaria. The 40km of pistes are spread over three sectors, two of which, Markoudjika and Yastrebets, are loosely linked. The third one is Baraki, accessed by several lifts. Borovets has reliable snow cover but by no means guaranteed. Borovets suffers from weekend lift lines and a lack of adequate piste-grooming. There is 1,323m - 2,540m of altitude at Borovets.
Resorts close to Borovets include:
Malyovitsa (18 km),
Vitosha (47 km),
Bansko (50 km),
Chepelare (103 km),
Falakro Oros (106 km),

Visitor Reviews of Borovets
Peter Snook from United Kingdom writes:
Returned from Borovets on 23/3/2013. The snow was a bit hit and miss; the lower Rila area was not great. However, at the top of the gondola the snow was good, albeit the learner slopes had become hard ice. Very poor conditions for learners. We played off-piste at the left of the four man chair lift and had a good time with lots of new snow on the Saturday morning. Price for food and drink still the cheapest around! I have been 3 times now and always come away having had a good time. Oh and £105 for 6 day ski pass after 15/3 is a winner at the gondola.
