Staff help with sizing and fittings, while optional children’s helmets, snowboard hire, ski school, and modern drying lockers add useful flexibility.
“Eva was great at sorting our group of 9 with skis, boots, poles, goggles and helmets. She was super helpful and all of the staff were really friendly. We had 3 instructors and split the group”

“The whole point on going on holiday and spending your hard earned money is to get away from the horrible people you have to be around everyday day. If I knew I was going to be surrounded by them here also I wouldn’t have bothered coming”

“We rented equipment and had a ski teaching lesson with Denis. Both services were totally fine (also as from my begginers steps as skier)”

“As complete beginners myself and children hired our equipment here and also had 3 family lessons with George. He was a great instructor and very patient and encouraging with my teenagers. Really enjoyed ourselves and will certainly be back. Other staff were very kind too and helped us with getting our boots on the first morning.”

“I used the Alpin rent ski for another year's skiing in Borovets . The staff recognised me from previous years and I received a warm welcome. As I hate walking in ski boots the venue is perfect for me as I can ski in and out . I could ski to the gondola but caught a horse and cart back which was my little treat. The nursery slope right outside is perfect for that first warm up ski in the morning . There was also the 4 and 6 man chair lift very nearby .The equipment was excellent and I managed to stay on my feet apart from being wiped…”
Pick a monastery, a ridge or a cellar.
