The Bulgarian mountains appear as something of a mystery on the European map: how is it that skiing in Bulgaria<\/strong> is the cheapest option, yet so few people talk about it? International rankings are uncompromising and Bulgarian resorts regularly occupy the highest positions for affordability. According to British comparisons, Borovets is the second and Bansko the fourth most affordable resort on the continent, which sounds like an absolutely ideal destination for a winter vacation<\/strong>. Yet for travelers from regions within easy driving distance of the Alps, this seemingly simple equation has one fairly significant catch that tourists flying in from farther away don’t have to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While travelers from the UK must fly to the Austrian Alps just the same as to Bulgaria, those in Central Europe have superbly equipped Austrian resorts just a few hours’ drive across the border. As soon as you factor in the cost of flights and transfers<\/strong> to your Bulgarian ski trip budget, you’ll quickly discover that a week in the Balkans can end up costing more than staying in a Tyrolean guesthouse with half board. But this certainly doesn’t mean you should immediately cross the Bulgarian mountains off your travel list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The magic of the Bulgarian mountains lies in something slightly different than just the absolute price of accommodation. If you’re traveling with small children and need to pay for ski school, don’t want to spend long hours behind the wheel on snowy motorways, or simply crave a combination of skiing and top-notch wellness<\/strong>, the Bulgarian option starts to make enormous sense. So let’s take a detailed look at which of the three main resorts will be right for your winter vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
