Skisportssteder i Bulgaria
Bulgaria is the cheapest way to learn to ski in Europe. Bansko, Borovets and Pamporovo bundle lift pass, lessons, hire and hotel at a price that undercuts the Alps by half, with tuition in English as standard. Bansko has the most serious terrain, a 16 km gondola served descent and a Pirin mountain backdrop; queues at peak times remain its weak point.
