Borovets

Borovets got its name from the pine forests, as “bor” means “pine” in Bulgarian. It is the oldest mountain resort in Bulgaria. The first villa was built there in 1896. The resort is near the capital Sofia and is convenient to reach. The altitude of the area is 1,350meters. Sofia is 70 kilometers away. Just 10 kilometers away is the nearest town, Samokov. Two times, in 1981 and 1984, Borovets was the venue for World Cup alpine skiing competitions.

The mild winters with plentiful snowfall are great preconditions for skiing vacations and many winter sports. The season for skiing kicks off in December and continues until April. Snowboarding can also be practiced. The snow cover in winter can reach 2 meters, which is auspicious for extreme skiing and is a delight for seasoned skiers. The marked ski slopes are total 58 kilometers. The longest slope is 12 kilometers in length.

Bansko 

The mountain town of Bansko lies where the most beautiful Bulgarian mountain called Pirin begins. It is a scenic mountain and vastly famed national park. Characteristic of Bansko are the ski slopes and tracks, and not only natural snowfall is relied on; snow cover is ensured by artificial snow machines: about 80 percent of the slopes are equipped with such machines. The ski center is reached from Bansko via a road with good lighting and artificial snow machines equipment. The modern gondola lift transports in gondolas which seat up to 8 people. Several chair lifts also transport people upwards and downwards. There are rope line facilities for adults and for children. Bansko provide great conditions for freeriding during the winter. 

Stages of alpine skiing competitions organized within the frames of the World Cup are held in Bansko. They are spectacular events. Other interesting competitions are biathlon and, too, arm wrestling. Bansko’s own football club is also a local pride.

Pamporovo

Pamporovo is a great choice of a mountain resort, summers and winters are equally wonderful for revealing the beauty of the Rhodope mountain. The resort is at the foot of the Snezhanka peak. The name Snezhanka means “Snow White”. The snow here is copious in winter. The height of the resort area, 1,650, lifts visitors into an environment of pine forests and freshness, and in the winter the trees covered with snow are equally stunning. The winters are mild, with over 100 sunny days a year. That makes Pamporovo the sunniest mountain resort in Bulgaria. The average temperature for the year is 5.5 degrees Centigrade. Tourists are especially numerous in winter, as it is a household name with keen skiers. Almost all ski slopes start from the Snezhanka peak.

Nearby are the towns of Smolyan and Chepelare, which are worth visiting. Smolyan is 15 kilometers away, and Chepelare, which is also great freeride spot is only 10 kilometers away.

The Seven Rila Lakes Freeride Ski/Snowboard

The Seven Rila Lakes attracts with the expanse dotted by the lakes. There is an old chalet by one lake, and a modern chalet up on the slope. Tourists can tour the lakes and understand why they have got their names. Sulzata (Tear) is crystal clear and transparent; Okoto (Eye) is in the shape of an eye; Bubreka (Kidney) is naturally kidney-shaped. Okoto is the deepest of all: its depth is 37.5 meters. Bubreka is surrounded by the steepest slopes. The largest lake is Bliznaka (Twin). Trilistnika resembles three leaves. Ribnoto (Fish Lake) is the most shallow one. Dolnoto (Lower) is the lowest one, gathering the water flowing down from the other lakes. There, from the Dolnoto lake, the Dzherman river starts its flow downwards.The Seven Rila lakes are one of the most famous nature sight in Bulgaria which is perfect spot for freeriding during the cold months.
