Biathlon in Bansko or Borovets

Hi everyone.

I wondered if it was possible to get some cross country skiing and Biathlon training in Bansko, or Borovets?.

Is there any instructors who would be prepared to take on a small group of relatively fit skiiers who are keen to try this sport.

cheers in advance.

Hi Brad,

In Borovets they do cross-country skiing etc and there are qualified instructors who just do this rather than skiing as well.

If you need any more info, click on my name and email me and I can send you relevant info, who teaches it and the kind of prices you are looking at.

They do it here in Bansko also. Not sure there are many km's though.

There are installed biathlon ranges here in Bansko at Bunderitsa Polyana (top of gondola) with courses of 5km, 10km, they normally host the Eastern European championships here along with junior Europeon... The actual courses are tarmacked and are available for summer cross country as well...
I know the equipment can be hired from Ulen (brand new) so im assuming there will be instructors also available...
