All the big companies seem not inerested in XC?with no packs on offer.Looked on this site but there is no detail on what the pack includes and how it is obtained i.e. does an instructor meet you at your hotel on the first day as is usual with the package holidays??
Any help would be appreciated.

re: Cross Country ski
I'm interested in XC too - we are staying in Borovets from 5 Jan for a week. I'd be grateful for any info if anyone has any - where to hire equipment, lessons etc.Thanks

re: Cross Country ski
never done it in Bulgaria, but when last in Borovets appeared to be no prepared tracks so probably not the place to learn. There is a small area of track in Bansko (which looks flattish), and I think Pamporovo has the most length of routes.Bulgarias probably a cheap place to try it out, but probably a better experience to be had in dolomites (like Dobbiaco in Italy) with lovely scenery, but would cost >£1000 and Norway even more expensive.
re: Cross Country ski
Cross country ski lessons / tour is supported by Peter at Interski down at ski station 2 in Pamps. Go to the White Dog tav and you will find him in there - His ski lockers are underneath the tavern.I know he took a group out a couple of days ago from the UK so.
