The oldest Bulgarian winter resort is Borovets with a history from 1896! Today Borovets is big and modern resort. It is situated on the conterminous Borovets col and on the northern slopes of the Mousala ridge in the eastern part of Rila Mountain. Huddled in venerable pine woods 1390 meters above the sea level (with highest pistes at 2600 m),it is a perfect place for relax and recreation.

The climate is also considered to be healthy. The winter in the resort is mild and of course with loads of snow! The average temperature during the coldest month January is 4.8ºC. Usually the slopes of Borovets have snow cover from mid December till April. The air in Borovets is clear and free of any pollutants.

Borovets is full of bars, cafes, night clubs, and discos. The night life is excellent at this resort. This resort is known as the most interesting ski centre regarding party time. Been catering for foreign tourists for many years now, the staffs are known to be friendly and professional.

 Most of the places work till the early morning, and offer good prices and special 'happy hour' discounts.
Music played is mostly international dance music. Very often special shows are presented at the clubs. There are available restaurants and taverns with Bulgarian national folk music and 'horo' dancing, which some people find very interesting.
