France, Austria, Italy and Switzerland continue to thrive at the top of the leader board when it comes to European ski resorts, but that doesn’t mean that they are the only countries available. What’s more is, that for considerably less money, you can enjoy Bulgaria ski opportunities which offer just as much to visitors.
While Bulgaria isn’t as firmly on the skiing map, it’s growing in popularity with British skiers who hear, on the grapevine, of its facilities and excellent snow conditions.

There are a couple of budget-friendly resorts in the country that have already started to make their names heard, and as long as people continue to give these fantastic resorts a chance, they will continue to find their way into people’s skiing itineraries.
Make sure that, whichever resort you choose, you look into the English-speaking ski schools that can provide some expert tuition to you and your loved ones. Perfect for those who have never skied before, or are feeling a little rusty around the edges, these reputable ski schools can help you to build your confidence in no time.
Bansko is the largest ski area in Bulgaria and is one of the country’s most popular resorts. You can find state-of-the-art lift systems that will take you smoothly up the mountain, making a whole host of runs accessible to you.
From the resort, you can enjoy day trips to the capital, Sofia, or take some time to appreciate the beautiful scenery with walks through the breath-taking mountainside.
Borovets
Perfect for beginners and families, Borovets can be found in the Rila Mountains and offers some outstanding value packages.
