Where do you fancy mate ? a day in 7 Lakes ? chair to the top, nice hut/hotel, poma taking you up further, looks awesome off-piste... or Maliavitsa, all tows but it also looks interesting, or maybe Vitosha, 34km of runs, decent reds and blues, a change for a day...... or Pamps, bit of a hike to resort, 2 hrs ish, but if the snow is good, gotta be worth a visit...re: Trips from Borovets
Vitosha sounds good. Seen it as we have driven in from Sofia but never been.dbut
re: Trips from Borovets
Vitosha, 40mins or so from Boro, 34lv for a day pass, 2 accesses, one from Simeonova (gondola) and a chair from Dragelevski... Skiing up to around 2200m on Cherni Vrah, open reds running into a combination of reds and blues. Lift system is a little elderly, but gets you up the hill, prices for food and drink similar to Boro. Can get very busy at weekends... It is possible to drive all the way up on a cobbled road to the base of Cherna Vrah (top of gondola)...

Have been up in the winter, snow is a consideration, the lower runs suffering quickly, but there is investment, Ulen are installing a cannon network, so this should not be such an issue in the future..
Its definitely worth a visit... and im sure `Hunters' can arrange something

re: Trips from Borovets
SteveGerry told me about 7 lakes, would love to go there. How far from Boro and is a day trip feasible?
re: Trips from Borovets
So first to Vitosha, it is the home mountain from Sofia, you have to go first to Sofia and can get there a bus or a Marshrutka to go there.
The 7 Lakes, is a bit nearer but not so easy to manage you have to go first from Borovez to Samokov and from there to Saparena Banya from there to Pionirska there is the lift up to the hut 7 Rila Lakes and some lifts.
Maljovitza the same first to Samokov and then 30 min to Maljovitza.
Had this summer a 9,5 hour walk from Maljovitza, crossing ...
