Borovets Ski Resort Guide
Borovets Ski Resort Guide
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),

Visitor Reviews of Borovets

I was in Borovets 6/1/12,7/1/12 & 8/1/12. There were a lot of problems with electricity blackout and I agree in all with the post of Svetoslav Trifonov from Bulgaria of 9/1/12, it was perfect snow conditions (about 2 meters fresh-snow powder!!) but because of electricity blackout about 12.00 lifts stop working for about 3 hours....till 15.00 then they worked the lifts for 30 min and finally stop working again! Borosport staff told us that the next day we'll have free ski pass but Sunday 8/1/12 in the gondola ski pass office they meant free ski pass just for half a day. Electricity problems go on and Sunday 8/1/12 (we stay up the gondola for 30'min at least!) and when we asked our money back from ski pass they said that they had no money because it was Sunday and the banks are closed! All the people from many countries (Bulgaria,Greece,England,Russia,Ukraine etc..) were angry! This is bad advertisment for the borosport-company and many people (like me) will not come again in Borovets.....(even if my opinion, the quality of snow in Borovets and the borovets-ski runs is the best in Balkan area). Besides on Sat7/1/12 because of the amount of snow at the hotel I stayed we had no water during all day! It was my first time in Borovets and the last one! I have gone at Bansko 4 times and I had never such a problems! Bansko again, Bankso!
