Borovets is the oldest Bulgarian winter resort with a history that dates back to
1896. Borovets was originally established at the end of the 19th Century as a
hunting place for the Bulgarian Kings, Borovets gradually developed into a
modern ski resort of budget and luxury hotels, haute-cuisine restaurants and
seedy bars and an average network of ski runs and lifts along the slopes of the
Rila Mountains, providing excellent opportunities for a whole range of winter
sports. The resort has twice hosted World Cup Alpine Skiing rounds(1981 and
1984), while the Biathlon track is one of the best in the world.
