Borovets, known as Chamkoria until the mid 20th century, is the first mountain resort of its kind, in Bulgaria and on the entire Balkan range. Its origin dates back to 1896, when Kniaz Ferdinand – Bulgaria's monarch at the time, had his summer residence and several hunting lodges built there. His example was followed by aristocrats and members of the Bulgarian elite, who subsequently built their summer cottages and chalets in Borovets.
Chamkoria
In 1942, the name of the resort was changed to Borovets – a literal translation of the Turkish word ‘Chamkoria’, meaning pine forest. In the 60s and 70s, the resort expanded to become the largest winter sports centre on the Balkans – new ski drags and lifts were erected, the ski slopes were widened and numerous alpine-style hotels were built, based on the French Les Arcs model in Savoie - also designed and built around the same time.
Today, Borovets is a modern four-seasons resort with an excellent network of ski slopes and lifts, cosy alpine hotels and numerous dining and entertainment outlets, at the backdrop of breath-taking nature.
Among the historical landmarks of Borovets, is the summer royal residence Tzarska Bistritza. Built between 1898-1906, it was originally used as hunting lodge by Tzar Ferdinand (Saxe Corburg Ghota) and his son Boris III. The design of the building was influenced mainly by the traditional Bulgarian Renaissance style, to which some European elements were added. Today, the estate belongs to the royal family and it is a place where they spend a significant time of the year.
Borovets’s sports history
Gradually, in the 70s and 80s of the last century, Borovets developed into a trendy ski resort with hotels, restaurants with a wide and sophisticated network of slopes, cementing itself as the destination for winter sports, in Bulgaria. The first downhill race in Borovets was held in 1930 and the first time the resort appeared on the Alpine calendar of the renowned International Ski Federation (FIS), was in 1974. As of today, the resort has hosted 2 World and 12 European cups, as well as numerous FIS Alpine ski races. The latest race for the European cup was held in Borovets in 2016 – the giant slalom for women.

Borovets Bulgaria ski trip 2013
Here is a montage of our trip to Borovets Bulgaria. There were a few antics but I'd definitely go back! The skiing was very good, with the Gondola especially providing a variety of runs. The majority of runs are blue/red, so if you are an advanced skier,snowboarder it may not be for you. The borosports ski school was particularly good, with our instructors Asiya, Martin and Alex very good in teaching us the basics. Bt the end of the week we were on the red runs after not being able to stand up at the start of the week! The nightlife is great and one of the cheapest destinations I've ever been to. Highly recommended.

Skiing. The ski area in Borovets is split in two; a smaller area with runs down into the main resort is serviced by 2 chairlifts and a number of drag tows and consists of nursery slopes; a couple of short black runs; 1 long blue run and a number of short reds. The second ski area is accessible via a Gondola and is much larger with a number of long blue and red runs. Black slopes are available at this resort but it must be noted that despite the high quality of the red and black runs this resort is considered to be mainly for beginners and intermediates. The resort has several good ski schools and a wide range of Apres ski activities. It is suggested that to book a place at one of these schools if you are new to skiing.
Snowboarding. Snowboarders share the same area as the general skiers and have a wide range of slopes available to them.
Ski-dooing.
Cross country Ski. The only resort in Bulgaria to offer this interesting activity.
Most restaurants on the pistes are relatively expensive and average quality.
Alpin Restaurant. Here you can sample tasty European and Bulgarian national cuisine specialties until midnight. In summer, you can spend time relaxing in the garden, cooled by the fresh air from the waterfall and cascades. There is also an outdoor barbecue where the chef will prepare specialties, grilled on live coals, right in front of you.
La Bomba a local grill restaurant, with tasty and reasonably priced food. Try pork on the spit roast and the local bread, baked with butter and salt.
The Blue Steak House/restaurant in the center of the town, great steak and other dishes.
Drink
The Golden Chicken aka Bobby's Bar A place to grab a beer and talk about a day on the slopes. Predominantly English speaking. Everybody seems to be friendly and up for a chat so if you're after a good social experience or any info on the area this is a place to start. Has a couple of quiet periods between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and about 4pm when people start to roll in off the slopes.
Sleep
Rila A large hotel located right on the lower slopes; rooms are comfortable and clean. The hotel has a swimming pool and a large lobby bar. The food provided in the restaurant (Towards the season anyway) is not to be recommended, although this isn't a huge problem as there are a number of reasonably priced places to eat in the town.
Bor. The original hotel of Borovets, built nearly sixty years ago but do not let that put you off for the interior is modern and comfortable with a mini bar, restaurant, games room and lounge. Prices at the bar are significantly lower than that of the main Rila hotel, and rooms are usually offered at half-board allowing for a buffet system breakfast and dinner. The area around the Bor is scenic and quiet, however it must be noted that the Bor hotel is outside of the main Borovets area therefore it is advised that you either allow 15 minutes walking time (between leaving the hotel and arrival at the slopes) or put aside 10lv for a horse-drawn carriage ride which can be found outside the lobby's main entrance.
Iskar Hotel & Chalets, [2]. Small, modern family run complex with a hotel and 5 chalets on the outskirts of Govadertsi village. It has its own ski run nearby and is about a 30 minute transfer to Borovets. The rooms are all nicely decorated in a modern style, each has an ensuite and the majority have balcony views of the Rila Mountains. There is a large dining room and lounge with real log fire and bar. It's a really relaxed environment, so you can be as lively or as lazy as you like! The hotel is half board, with breakfast and a three course evening meal each night, prepared by a British cook. The family that own the place also organise all your transport and ski hire, and are really knowledgeable of the local area so able to help organise other activities. It's ideal for big groups and families, and the quiet rural setting can be a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of Borovets at night. There is room for up to 30 people and they offer group discounts.
