Why choose Bansko or Borovets for your first skiing holiday?

Are you looking for your next family skiing holidays to Bulgaria? We are strongly recommending Bansko and Borovets – famous Bulgarian ski resorts.

Bansko and Borovets are a good choice for beginners. Indeed many skiers have learnt to ski in these two skiing resorts, let’s look at why? 

The Mountain

The mountains next to Bansko and Borovets are smaller than other neighbouring European countries. This makes things like ski packs (lessons, equipment and lift passes) cheaper as there is less mountains to cover and so the lift systems are smaller and less expensive. Being new to ski it’s likely that you won’t need to cover miles of piste so this alone makes Bulgaria the perfect choice for beginners!

Good Ski Instructors 

Many people learn to ski in Bulgaria while being on their winter holidays. One of the reasons is that the ski instructors are used to teaching beginners and so they are patient. In some countries beginners can be seen as a bit of an inconvenience whereas in Bulgaria this is certainly not the case, you just blend in with all the other beginners and more experienced skiers. 

Price

Our prices for skiing holidays to Bansko and Borovets offer great value for money. This coupled with the low cost of ski packs and extras such as lunch on the slopes makes both Bulgarian skiing resorts exceptional value for money. Why pay more than needed for your first trip! All this contributes to our skiing holidays being affordable and this encourages people to try this winter sport. 

Deposit

Our deposit is only £70pp making it one of the lowest around, there’s nothing else to pay until 10 weeks before you travel and booking earlier makes sense as you can then spread the cost of your holiday too!

Choice

Here at Balkan Holidays we have something for every holiday maker, whether you like to be self-sufficient and book a self-catering holiday, book bed & breakfast so you can enjoy evening meals out in many of the fabulous restaurants in our ski resorts, or perhaps you prefer half board which is certainly the preferred option for our customers. 

Hotels and Apartments

Whether you prefer a luxury hotel - Kempinski Hotel Grand Arena in Bansko or Spa & Resort Borovets Hills in Borovets, villas or great value three star hotels - Hotel Victoria and Hotel & Villas St. George in Borovets or Aparthotel Winslow Infinity and Hotel Mura in Bansko, we offer a wide choice of hotels and accommodation to suit any requirement and budget. Some of the hotels we offer have swimming pools (ideal after a day on the slopes), some have spas or saunas, others are closer to resort centre, whereas for those who prefer to be further away from it all, we also offer accommodations in a quiet setting. 

So, there you have it, six reasons why Bansko and Borovets are a good choice to learn to ski. If you are thinking of learning to ski and booking a skiing holiday we hope this helps and we look forward to welcoming you to Bulgaria this ski season.
