Bulgaria Ski

There will be many skiers looking for a low cost holiday this winter; many will be seriously considering a trip to Bulgaria. Easy jet and WizzAir are currently offering low cost flights from the UK to the Bulgarian capital. Sofia is only situated an hour away from the major ski resorts.

One of Bulgaria’s major ski resorts is the town of Borovets, situated in the heart of the Rila Mountains, the resort is one of Eastern Europe’s hidden gems, with picturesque Mountain views it really is a winter paradise.

With the global credit crunch now in full swing, more and more people are expected to search for a cheaper option for their winter pilgrimage to the slopes; winter resorts in the French Alps are notoriously expensive. This will drive hoards of skiers and snowboarders to countries like Bulgaria and Romania. Borovets was recently voted the 3rd cheapest option for a ski holiday in Europe with an average weekly cost of £241.10.

Ski resorts in Bulgaria are bracing themselves for a bumper ski season this year; with bookings already well in advance of last season. It’s a fact that Bulgarian ski resorts cannot yet offer the variety of ski runs available in Italy, France and Switzerland, however in terms of offering a good quality holiday at a fraction of the cost, Bulgaria cannot be beaten.
