To Borovets according to BH brochure

Airports of arrival Sofia and Plovdiv
Airport to resort 75 km & 120 km
Transfer time 1½ hrs & 2½ hrs

Pete's average is spot on.

The transfer from Sofia airport to Borovets is no more than an hour. You can use the road past the Iskar dam if you want a scenic drive or else the motorway via Kostenetz

Having doen this journey on a few occasions Coolit will take from an hour upwards, depending on the road conditions, and the big fat truck going to greece that i always get stuck behind. I would not go via Kostenets myself, the road back is the pits. If you said an hour and a half youd be about right.

Lyndsey, don 't use normal suncream but look out for the ones special for ski: they protect your face against the cold too. Nivea ski for example has 2in1 for the lips + face. Very Happy
