About Borovets
Borovets is a ski resort in pine forest on the slopes of the Rila Mountains, with Musala, the highest peak in the Balkans, rising nearby.
Borovets is a resort in the Rila Mountains of western Bulgaria, set among pine forest at about 1,300 metres. It began life as a royal hunting estate and has been a mountain retreat since the late nineteenth century. Hotels, chalets and restaurants gather around a small centre, and the road down leads through the old town of Samokov.
