Welcome to Borovets where pretty pine forests meet relaxed Bulgarian hospitality. This is one of the most popular ski resorts in the country and a firm favourite with UK travellers. You can expect gentle greens for first timers, wide blues for relaxed cruising and a handful of reds for an easy step up. Prices are friendly, instructors are patient and the resort has a warm village feel that works for couples, friends and families.

Flying into Sofia is the easy way to start your holiday. From the airport the road transfer to resort is usually around 90 minutes depending on traffic and weather. If you book a package your transfer is normally included which keeps things simple. Independent travellers can pre book a shared or private transfer for smooth doorstep service.
Once in resort you can walk to most places. The gondola and main nursery areas sit close to the centre and many hotels are only a short stroll away. Taxis are available if you prefer not to walk and most hotels offer shuttle runs to the lifts at busy times.
Packages with Crystal Ski and Heidi are popular with flights, accommodation and transfers all wrapped up. You can also find deals with other UK specialists who focus on great value and beginner friendly tuition. Look out for bundle offers that include lift pass, ski or board hire and lessons which can save you money.
