Borovets ({{lang-bg|Боровец}}), known as Chamkoria (Чамкория) until the middle of the 20th century, is a popular Bulgarian mountain resort situated in Sofia Province, on the northern slopes of Rila, at an altitude of 1350 m. Borovets is 10 km from Samokov, 73 km from Sofia and 125 km from Plovdiv. HistoryBorovets is the oldest Bulgarian winter resort with a history that dates back to 1896. Borovets was originally established at the end of the 19th Century as a hunting place for the Bulgarian Kings. Borovets gradually developed into a modern ski resort with hotels, restaurants, bars and a network of ski runs and lifts along the slopes of the Rila Mountains, providing for a whole range of winter sports. The resort has twice hosted World Cup Alpine Skiing rounds(1981 and 1984), while the Biathlon track is one of the best in the world. [1] Super BorovetsThe Super Borovets project is one of the largest and most expensive investment and development projects in Bulgarian history. The plan is to enlarge Borovets town to encompass the nearby towns of Samokov and Beli Iskar. The resort will be divided into three levels: Level 1 or Low Borovets: A brand new development just outside Samokov, this area will cater for the less economically well off tourists, but will have good connections and transport with Borovets and the main ski area. This project will provide around 5,000 hotel rooms. Level 2 or Borovets: Consists of the existing Borovets with extensive investment and development. This will provide around 10,000 hotel rooms (approximately what Borovets currently provides) and will remain as the main accommodation area. Level 3 or Super Borovets: This will cater for those looking for 5 star hotels and a luxury experience, however it will provide no more than 2,500 hotel rooms. The current plan from the architects (subject to review and acceptance by the ecology team) is to expand the number of pistes by constructing 19 new pistes bringing the total ski-able area to around 90 km. To cope with the higher demand for ski-lifts and gondolas, 12 new ski-lifts will be built. One of these lifts will be a multi-station gondola which connects Borovets to Samokov allowing skiers easy access to the slopes from the Lower Borovets development site. The project was launched in 2004 and was to be completed by 2009, however several setbacks have delayed it. The project was then given the go-ahead in October 2007, amidst opposition from environmentalists.[2] However, by February 2010, still nothing had happened with the whole project mired in financial problems as a result of the late-2000s financial crisis, and the project's backers denying that work had restarted.[3] Climate{{Weather box|open= 1 |metric first= 1 |single line= 1 |location= Borovets, Bulgaria |Jan high C = 0.6 |Feb high C = 2.2 |Mar high C = 5.4 |Apr high C = 11.1 |May high C = 16.2 |Jun high C = 19.6 |Jul high C = 22.1 |Aug high C = 22.3 |Sep high C = 17.9 |Oct high C = 12.6 |Nov high C = 7.3 |Dec high C = 2.6 |year high C = 11.7 |Jan mean C = -3.8 |Feb mean C = -2.5 |Mar mean C = 0.7 |Apr mean C = 6.1 |May mean C = 11.0 |Jun mean C = 14.9 |Jul mean C = 16.8 |Aug mean C = 16.8 |Sep mean C = 12.5 |Oct mean C = 7.9 |Nov mean C = 2.6 |Dec mean C = -2.1 |year mean C = 6.8 |Jan low C = −7.1 |Feb low C = −6.2 |Mar low C = -3.1 |Apr low C = 1.2 |May low C = 5.7 |Jun low C = 9.1 |Jul low C = 10.4 |Aug low C = 10.2 |Sep low C = 7.0 |Oct low C = 3.1 |Nov low C = -1.2 |Dec low C = −5.7 |year low C = 2.0 |Jan rain mm= 59 |Feb rain mm= 53 |Mar rain mm= 62 |Apr rain mm= 82 |May rain mm= 114 |Jun rain mm= 121 |Jul rain mm= 91 |Aug rain mm= 62 |Sep rain mm= 56 |Oct rain mm= 68 |Nov rain mm= 67 |Dec rain mm= 60 |year rain mm=895 |source 1 = Stringmeteo.com[4] |date=February 2012}} Winter sportsThe ski resort is at an altitude of 1350 m. 58 km of marked pistes cover the generally north facing slopes up to an altitude of 2560 m, with many runs terminating near the village centre allowing skiers to ski almost to their hotel door.

Ski InstructionOne of the major attractions of Bulgaria and especially Borovets is the high standard of instruction available at a much lower cost than is common in the ski resorts of Western Europe. The instruction is divided into 5 different levels according to the skill level of the individual. The lessons may be group or individual (subject to request) and the duration of the course is from anything from 3 to 12 days. There is also a ski kindergarten for the children aged 4 to 8 years which runs for the entire day. Summer activitiesLike most ski resorts, Borovets is quieter during the summer, but there is always horse riding, by the hour or 1 to 7-day holidays, on the wonderful mountain and forest tracks and paths, and more recently, mountain biking has become popular and there are many dedicated routes which include purpose-made jumps. The lifts are working in the summer and bikers can take their bikes up on them. Different lifts work on different days. Hiking is also popular as is fishing at the local trout fishery. The Kings Palace (Tsarska Bistritsa) is open from 10 till 5 Friday to Sunday and cost 3 leva entry.
