DISCOVER THE HIDDEN GEM OF BULGARIA THIS WINTER

Known for its affordability, Bulgaria is a top-notch ski destination which can often fall under the radar. Nestled in the heart of the Balkan Mountains, Bulgaria’s ski resorts are open from December to March. Not only is it a budget-friendly destination but also a great pick if you are looking to advance your slope skills. The resorts offer plenty of gentle tree-lined runs and excellent ski schools with instructors that speak great English.

The après ski scene in Bulgaria ranges from dancing on tables to traditional folk nights. Bulgaria’s affordability really comes in handy when it comes to après, not to mention most of the bars running a happy hour! With the option to dance until the morning or grab a relaxing beer on the slopes, Bulgaria has something to offer for families, friends and couples.

Not sure where to go in Bulgaria? Bansko is Bulgaria’s largest ski area with 75km of piste to explore. Bansko’s traditional old town is full of buzzing bars and restaurants where you can sit and soak in the surroundings of cobbled lanes and snowy terracotta roofs. If you are looking for a laid-back feel, Pamporovo is a great pick with quiet slopes to get your bearings. Borovets offers scenic slopes and a lively nightlife, ranging from traditional tipples to dancing all evening at Franko’s Bar.

With its excellent ski schools, vibrant après ski and exceptional value, Bulgaria is not a ski destination to miss!
