If You booked without researching the place and end up not liking it then you have yourself to answer to.

Also the green Mussala pathway is a few miles long. Whilst not a proper piste it does snake it way down from the mountain top with some very picturesque scenery along the way. I skiied it a few times just to admire the views and there were some interest twists and turns along the way. I think the pathway is a road in summer.

I have boarded all over the world. Coming to Borovets as the gf is just learning. But I will say it is pretty, maybe the prettyest when it has snowed out of all of them.
