The weather is still sunny, but it’s getting colder and colder with each day! With the snowfall in Markudjik Ski Center last week, I can’t help myself but think of the upcoming winter season. I stay in the office, but I always imagine myself in the fresh snow. The feeling of freedom when skiing down the well-groomed slopes captivates my mind. However, during COVID pandemics is normal to worry about your booking! Be happy, because Ski & Board Traventuria Borovets has an updated Cancellation Policy! 

A bad day skiing is better than a good day at work!

Bulgaria is ready for the season in Borovets

This weekend Bulgarian minister of tourism Mariyana Nikolova met representatives of the tourism industry. She officially announced that Bulgaria’s looking forward to starting the season. All properties will be strictly following the rules of distancing and should take into account all precautions of health authorities.

It seems that the season will start in the early days of December according to the weather forecasts with more slopes opening by Mid-December and the whole resort not later than the 20th of December. 

The resort’s ski zone will open for the most impatient in early December.

Prepared to meet dear guests with the updated cancellation policy

Ski & Board Traventuria continues to prepare more and more feverishly to welcome our guests, accepting more and more reservations each day.

For the comfort of our guests, we have updated our Cancelation Policies in order to cover all possible scenarios even the ones we wouldn’t want to think about (such as the complete closure of the resort). 

Our staff has undergone various training for hygiene and safety. Our shop has 2 powerful ventilation systems that bring fresh air into the store. We sanitize the equipment after each customer. We also have personal lockers that have their own sanitizing system. Don’t forget that Ski & Board Traventuria has as well an updated cancellation policy! In one word, we are ready to meet all the challenges of the current COVID situation.

When am I eligible for a refund according to the cancelation policy?

(Mind that, as a rule, no refund is possible in case of not operational lifts and drags due to bad weather conditions or temporary technical breakdowns/power cuts).
2) Border closure in Bulgaria: If before your arrival Bulgaria closes its borders for passengers, coming from your country, and your travel dates fall into the border closure period, you will be eligible for a refund (minus 3.5% of the amount paid but not less than 10 EUR p/p)
3) Self-isolation requirements: If before your arrival Bulgaria, or the country you are coming from, introduces self-isolation requirements (either in Bulgaria, or in your country of origin when you go back), and these measures match your travel dates, you will be eligible for a refund (minus 3.5% of the amount paid but not less than 10 EUR p/p)
