Why book direct
Many transfer websites do not drive anyone themselves: they resell rides from local companies and add their margin. On those sites the same route is usually listed from about 75 EUR and up. When you book with us, you deal directly with the company and the call centre that organise your transfer, and you can call us on +359 897 227 771 before and during your trip.
The route
From Sofia Airport the road goes south-east around Sofia and then up through the town of Samokov into the Rila mountains. The last part climbs to the resort at about 1,350 m. In winter the mountain road can be snowy, so the drive may take a little longer than the usual hour and a half; our drivers know the road in all conditions.
About Borovets
Borovets is Bulgaria's oldest mountain resort, set in pine forest on the northern slopes of Rila, below Musala, the highest peak in the Balkans. It is popular with UK skiers for its short transfer from Sofia, its mix of easy and intermediate runs and its lively après-ski. In summer it is a base for hiking in Rila.
Travelling with ski equipment
Tell us how many ski or snowboard bags you are bringing when you book. A sedan is fine for two people with skis; for four or more people with equipment, the long-base minivan or minibus gives everyone and everything enough space.
