Borovets, Bulgaria
Skiing through the pines.
Borovets feels very different again. Set among the forests of the Rila Mountains at around 1,300m, Bulgaria’s original mountain resort has 58km of marked pistes spread across Sitnyakovo, Yastrebets and Markudjik. The skiing climbs to around 2,500m, combining sheltered tree-lined runs lower down with much more open mountain terrain above, all just 70km from Sofia.
