Introducing Borovets
Although it’s been overtaken by Bansko for the title of Bulgaria’s biggest ski resort, Borovets still draws big crowds (both locals and foreign package tourists), and is contending to reclaim its old position with the so-called ‘Super Borovets’ project planning to expand it significantly.

Borovets is one of Bulgaria’s oldest ski resorts, as the slightly faded and worn state of the structures and lifts attests. However, unlike built-up Bansko, a town of 10, 000 people, Borovets is simply a resort; most accommodation and services literally spill off the mountain. Out of ski season, when the shuttered restaurants offer only last season’s chalk-scrawled menus out front, it can feel eerily empty. However, the thick pine forests all around are excellent for summer hikes, and the mountain air is very crisp and refreshing.
