Major Cities

  • Borovets

    Borovets, located in the Rila Mountains is one of the largest winter resort towns in southeastern Europe. In 1896, it was selected by the Bulgarian royal family as the site of their hunting lodge. In the decades after, it was developed as a ski resort, which has hosted Alpine Skiing World Cup runs twice in the past. There are 31 miles of ski runs coming down Musala Ridge toward the hotel zone.

  • Bansko

    Located at the foot of the Pirin Mountains, Bansko is one of the country`s most popular ski resorts, and also one of the newest. The area was developed in the early 2000s as a winter vacation getaway featuring amenities that rival the chalets and hotels of the Swiss Alps. Bansko boasts nearly 50 miles of ski runs, and a chair lift takes vacationers from town up to the resort`s base. It is possible to ski for an entire mile from the summit of Mount Todorka to the town a mile below.
