Have you considered ski holidays in Bulgaria? Becoming more popular as people discover the relative value that they present, resorts like Bansko and Pamporovo are relatively cheap when compared to other, over saturated, tourist ski areas in Europe. While you may be able to book ski holidays in Bulgaria at a low price you do not have to sacrifice the comfort of your holiday, since the hills offer plenty of scenic views, as well as locals that welcome the ski community, making your stay pleasant and relaxing.
Ski holidays in Bulgaria are best for those who are beginners or intermediates, making it an excellent choice for families with young children, or skiers who are learning the sport at an older age. For those who simply want to relax and take leisurely glides down the slopes while taking in the après atmosphere at night Bulgaria is also a wise choice.
Additionally, most of the main resorts in Bulgaria have ski schools that will help you fine tune your skills or aid in your instruction if you are just beginning to learn the sport. Although Bulgarian is the main language of the land most people are able to speak English as well, reducing the amount of communication problems that you may find in other lands.
Food and drink are both very inexpensive with the average meal costing seven pounds and the average beer costing a about a pound. The menu is designed to accommodate all tastes, although Turkish food is the local flavour which is worth a try for a change of pace. To soak in the culture of the land further, you may also want to consider taking a trip to the Rila Monastery, which is one of the best preserved medieval structures in Europe.
