Looking for a fun, active alternative to alpine downhill slopes? Cross-country (Nordic) skiing is one of Europe’s fastest-growing winter sports, offering a fantastic full-body workout and a peaceful way to explore the winter countryside.
Our daily 2-Hour Cross Country Ski Taster at 13:30 is tailor-made for first-timers and international visitors seeking a memorable afternoon experience in Borovets.
You’ll glide through the famous Bistritsa Sports Centre, home to 10 km of world-class, groomed cross-country and biathlon tracks surrounded by quiet pine forests. Because Nordic trails are at valley level, you don’t need to purchase a resort lift pass, making this one of the best-value snow experiences in Bulgaria!
