The runs which are set in stunning scenery, are arranged with international markings and multi-lingual signs.

Snow conditions are among the best in Eastern Europe and the season usually lasts from mid December to mid April.

The park contains over 100 peaks, with deep and dramatic river gorges, lakes and waterfalls.

Borovets: The resort caters for all standards of skier and snowboarder and in particular, it is ideally suited for beginners and those of intermediate standard. Snowboarders of all levels should find this a great place to practice their skills. There are many "off-piste" routes and sneaky "shortcuts" through the forest parallel to the slopes!
There are horse-drawn sleighs available for a pleasant trip around the resort. For the more adventurous, cross country and biathlon tracks, as well as ski jumps and snow mobiles (Skidoos), are available. Also, several floodlit pistes allow late night skiing.
In addition, Borovets offers fantastic apres-ski and nightlife to suit all ages. There are plenty of bars, cafes, night clubs and discos that stay open into the early hours of the morning.
