Oli go with an open mind and i am sure you find borovets is a place of much fun with decent locals and small and compact village. you just need a good fall of snow this week to give a great ski resort where people return year after year.

when you first arrive I expect you will be dissappointed, but I would bet by the end of your holiday you will be rushing back to the travel agents to book again. It's true the food can be different to what you are use to, but I'm sure you will find some resteraunts you'll like. I only visited one that wasn't my taste and wouldn't go back to. Relax and have a great time, I'm sure your going to.

when there is snow in the resort streets it is picture post card .. if not it can look a bit scruffy... most eateries are clean and serve good food .. get off the main .rila/samakov drag to find best food and prices ... hope you have a good time ....... i have been going for nearly 15 years Razz Booze

Hi again, well i was out boarding yesterday over in Malovitsa and there was good powder. I know a few people have been out in Borovets already, they opened some of the chair lifts early so it's looking good. They got the snow cannons up and running on the reds down from the gondola. The restaurant isn't in Borovets itself, we're in a village called Beli Iskar but are planning a shuttle service if people want to come and give us a try! Drop us an email at [email protected] if you're ...
