A new winter complex will be officially opened in the Southern Bulgarian town of Samokov on January 12th 2008.
The complex, called Boricho, has been functioning since January 4th and all seems well.
Boricho has a 2 man opened chair-lift and a ski-run of just one km, so at the moment skiing is very limited. The ski-run was made on a former farm track to the ridge and is no more than an easy blue.
Two other ski tracks, a teahouse and a panorama-restaurant are to be built in the next phase ...

Two other ski tracks, a teahouse and a panorama-restaurant are to be built in the next phase of the project and these should be completed by 2009.
The construction began in the summer of 2006. The lift was ready for the winter season 2006/2007, but the lack of snow kept the complex from opening.
An artificial snow system will also be installed for the next winter season. My thought are that this could lead to a whole new destination in years to come but we'll just have to wait and see.

This ski run and lift are for the local of samokov who have been priced out of Borovets.
re: New Bulgarian Resort Opens Sunday
snowy norman you have made a piont there we all keep moaning about the prices and how they have risen, but what about the locals they are on low pay and I bet they use to enjoy the resorts but due to tourism they have been priced out, they might move to this new resort but how long before it becomes the next new one and the same thing happens
re: New Bulgarian Resort Opens Sunday

Oh they dont charge locals, tourist prices as they are all on the fiddle together!Sounds Terrible Frazer ;)
Enjoy it whilst you can
re: New Bulgarian Resort Opens Sunday
The locals in Samokov helped to construct the resort of Borovets many years ago, know most only dream about affording to ski there.
Shame really, it was expected to boost the economy for Samokov, which has benefited very little.
Lets hope the Super Borovets project brings more prosperity for the locals, and is not hijacked by the super rich.
