What you can expect

Embark on an unforgettable day in the snow-dusted wonderland of Borovets, Bulgaria's premier winter resort perched amid the Rila Mountains' towering peaks
just one hour from Sofia. Visit the grand residence of Bulgaria's last monarch, then dive into a magical alpine escape, perfect for expert skiers chasing adrenaline or mountain lovers seeking serene beauty.

Glide down pristine slopes for every level: heart-pounding runs for pros, gentle paths for beginners, and endless vistas that captivate the soul.

Kick off your day at 9 AM with a private guide picking you up from your Sofia hotel for a scenic 1.5-hour drive into the majestic Rila Mountains.

Choose 2 of these 4 thrilling options in Borovets and beyond:

Ski or lesson (1-2 hours): Hit the slopes with gear and guidance tailored to your level.

Cabin lift ride: Soar above the peaks for breathtaking panoramic views of snow-capped ridges.

Tsari Mali Grad fortress: Explore this restored medieval marvel on a hill near Belchin village.

Private afternoon ski/snowboard lesson: Master the mountain with one-on-one instruction.

Relax and return to Sofia between 17-18 PM, arriving refreshed with memories of an epic winter day.
