BEGINNERS

APRÈS-SKI Borovets is as well known for its great nightlife as it is for its fantastic skiing. There are a few places where you can stay out until 4 in the morning at prices which are a lot less than you would expect to pay in a club back home. For those who perhaps have a yearning to learn about Bulgaria’s varied folk traditions, there are regular folklore evenings and even a visit to a genuine Bulgarian home for a taste of home cooking and entertainment. The main nightclubs are at the Samokov and Rila hotels. NIGHTLIFE There are plenty of restaurants and bars from cosy inns with log fires to busy bars with loud music and dancing. There are also many nightclubs, dotted around the resort. Wherever you go, the atmosphere in all venues is fantastic, with people from all over Europe mixing together and having a great time. EXCURSIONS If you have aching limbs after a few days on the slopes, why not try one of our excursions. You can take a full or half day trip to Sofia, Plovdiv or the fascinating Rila Monastery. A Skidoo Safari is great fun. A trained operator takes you through the wood trails of the resort, after that you can have a go! Please book all excursions through your local representative. Children aged 2-11yrs get a reduction on selected excursions. SHOPS There is a wide variety of shops, stalls and kiosks in the village centre. The shops in hotels Rila and Samokov sell branded ski wear and other clothes, souvenirs, and snacks. The stalls, situated along the main street, sell a variety of skis, ski clothing, clothes and souvenirs. MEDICAL ARRANGEMENTS In Borovets there is a round-the-clock mountain rescue service, ambulance, clinic (with doctor and nurse) plus first aid service on all ski slopes; X-ray facilities are also available in Borovets and the town of Samokov. Please note: Some medical services must be paid for locally in cash. They will provide receipts to enable you to claim back from your insurance company once you get back to the UK.

The Borovets ski school enjoys an excellent reputation where the friendly, helpful instructors make learning a pleasure and success guaranteed. Beginners start the week on the nursery slopes outside hotel Rila but by the end of the week everyone is heading for the gondola lift and trying something a little more challenging.

INTERMEDIATES

The choices for the intermediates are wide and various, with excellent skiing/snowboarding in the exciting Yastrebets and Markoudjik areas. The well-planned lift system includes the 5km, 6-person Yastrebets gondola lift, which opens up a wealth of enjoyable runs, ranging fromwide sunny boulevards in the Musala basin, to scenic looping trails through the trees. From the gondola taking you to the top you can try one of the longest downhill runs in Bulgaria, as well as some great skiing on the slopes of the wind-free basin underneath Musala peak.
