Bulgarian Ski Resorts Gear Up for the Winter Season
Ski season is just around the corner, with resort preparations well underway across Bulgaria. While some destinations are ready to welcome skiers before the official opening dates, others await optimal snow conditions.
Bansko Opens Early
The popular resort of Bansko is aiming for an early start on December 6th, with all tracks and facilities ready and operational.
“The entire ski resort is starting to work – restaurants, lifts, the rink,” confirms Ivan Obreykov from the concessionaire company “Yulen”. Visitors can enjoy last year’s prices until December 20th, after which prices will adjust.
Pamporovo Opens Officially December 7th
Pamporovo is holding its official opening ceremony on December 7th. The Minister of Tourism and other prominent figures will be present alongside excited young people eager to hit the slopes.
“Initially, our ski area will partially open, but it won’t be long before it operates at full potential approximately within 2-3 weeks,” says Marian Belyakov, Pamporovo AD.

The resort will offer promotional prices for the season until December 21st, when they will adjust. “The increase fails to cover even the difference from the VAT,” emphasizes Belyakov, suggesting that a lower VAT is critical,

Belyakov emphasizes the importance of prioritizing tourism, arguing that a significant portion of Bulgaria’s GDP remains untapped within the tourism sector.
Borovets Awaits Optimal Conditions
Borovets is diligently preparing for the ski season, diligently preparing slopes, with the gondola geared up and running weekends beginning December 3rd. However, they refrain from setting a firm opening date, stating:
“In order for us to open the ski area, the slopes must be well-groomed and have a solid base. We care a lot about having a good foundation.
” On Saturdays and Sundays, the cable car will be operative for tourists and guests of the resort. However, the opening date remain contingent on sufficient snowfall and favorable weather conditions.
