Bulgaria is rapidly developing into a serious ski destination for avid skiiers and snowboarders alike.  Together, the major Bulgaria ski resorts provide an appealing mix of modern purpose built ski resorts as well as historic Bulgarian towns located within the picturesque surroundings of the numerous awe inspiring mountain ranges of Bulgaria.  Skiing in Bulgaria is becoming increasingly accessible to Western tourists yet continues to retain it's unspoilt charms and extremely low cost of living, key factors leading to the increasing appeal of Bulgaria skiing holidays amongst winter holiday enthusiasts.

Bulgaria boasts a rapidly increasing number of internationally renowned ski resorts that easily meet the standards of any modern western European ski holiday destination.  Currently competing to be crowned top ski resort in Bulgaria are Bansko, Borovets and Pamporovo although countless other smaller ski resorts can be found nestled within the plentiful mountain ranges that Bulgaria has to offer.

Bansko is located in the South west corner of Bulgaria near to the border with Greece, Pamporovo is in the south of Bulgaria, again near to the Greek border whilst Borovets occupies a more central location in the centre/west of Bulgaria.  All three major Bulgaria skiing destinations are now comfortably competing with the more established ski resorts of France, Switzerland and Austria.

Whilst both Borovets and Pamporovo have been specifically developed for the purpose of satisfying the increasing demand for skiing destinations in Bulgaria, Bansko presents a completely different proposition.  Whilst it undoubtedly warrants its reputation as a fantastic ski resort and in fact boasts one of the longest ski seasons in Bulgaria that extends from mid December to May, Bansko combines its many skiing facilities with the cultural experience of traditional life in a historic Bulgarian town.  On top of this Bansko has developed strong support from the extreme skiing fraternity and now hosts regular extreme winter sports championships.

In order to make the most of a Bulgaria skiing holiday we thoroughly recommend combining the extensive ski facilities of Bansko ski zone with the cultural experience of life in Bulgaria that only Bansko can offer.
