The main ski resorts in Bulgaria - Bansko, Borovets, Pamporovo and Vitosha - are located in the west of the country, near the capital. Bansko, considered the fastest growing ski resort in Eastern Europe, offers stable snow cover, varied slopes and high-quality equipment. Borovets, the oldest resort, is surrounded by pine forests and offers a variety of mountain peaks and trails. Pamporovo, the sunniest resort, is located at the foot of Mount Snezhanka and provides ski slopes of all levels of difficulty. Vitosha, just 20 km from Sofia, has excellent infrastructure and offers slopes for all categories of skiers.
