At night ski the Borovets not only to ski for more time but to enjoy and experience a new way to see how the time pass by on the snow. The weather began to get warmer in the second and third months of the year, so the cold wasn't too overwhelming, and even in January, which is the coldest, you've got to try the night skiing. Wear some extra layers and go down the well lit hill in the alpine forest. Riding on a chairlift up the mountain slope at night experiencing all the nocturnal sights and sounds can be a great adventure to cherish.

Borovets, just like any other resort area, has a number of options that will accommodate you during your stay. For those who have more restrictions on their spending, I recommend the Moura hotel. (three stars), or the 4-star Rila Hotel might be the one what you're looking for. Are you in search of something just a little more extravagant? The five-star Winter Palace is a must try. In contrast, if you're seeking privacy and luxury, the ideal selection is the five star Villa Stresov of the Borovets ski chalets.
Villa Stresov was rebuilt in 1996 as a five-star luxury property by the Bulgarian-American family of Marianne Djidrova Nielsen, a granddaughter of the Stresovs, and Philip R.
