Ski Resorts in Bulgaria

Skiing in Bulgaria tends to be focused around three resorts that are all located within the Balkan Alps. Bansko is the most popular option for those seeking some winter fun and offers great skiing conditions at height of more than 2000m – with the longest runs in the country and plenty keep you busy once your day on the slopes comes to an end.

It’s not the biggest resort however, with that accolade going the way of Borovets; which has grown hugely in recent years as people are drawn in by the high quality skiing and facilities that are available at cost effective prices. Finally, Pamporovo mixes impressive landscapes with good skiing for both beginners and intermediate level skiers alike.

You’ll not be short of things to do away from the slopes on a break in Bulgaria, with the different resorts each offering their own take on après-ski.

Bankso is quite laid back and relaxed and is a great place to grab traditional food and drink, particularly in the old town area, whilst things are much more lively when the sun goes down in Pamporovo – where you can dance the night away in a range of nightclubs.

Should you want more authentic entertainment, then Borovets is the place to go, with live folklore music being popular.

It doesn’t matter what your budget is, there will be accommodation to suit your needs in Bulgaria – and your budget will probably go a further than it would do elsewhere. Expect good levels of service throughout and value for money regardless of whether you are looking for simple accommodation or more of a touch of luxury.

Your lift pass acts as your ticket to the slopes and means you’ll be able to use the ski lifts that will take you to the top of the slopes. Book in advance and you’ll be able to get down to business as soon as you arrive in your resort.
