About skiing in Borovets
Borovets has three main ski centres: Sitnyakovo, Yastrebets and Markudjik. They are different parts of the resort, with lower forest pistes and higher open-mountain terrain. The 58 km figure is for marked runs across the resort, ranging from beginner to expert difficulty.
Ski areas and terrain
Sitnyakovo
Lower resort and forest skiing, including learning terrain and a range of blue, red and black pistes near the village.
Yastrebets
Reached by gondola; a good choice for longer mountain runs and more confident skiers.
Markudjik
Higher open terrain approaching 2,560 m; check the lift and piste status on windy or snowy days.
Piste difficulty: Sitnyakovo is a practical place to look for learning areas and shorter pistes near the village. Yastrebets offers longer red and black runs, while the exposed Markudjik sector includes high-altitude terrain whose operation is more dependent on weather. Choose a lesson meeting point and lift access before leaving your hotel.
Planning your arrival: Ask whether your hotel is near the gondola or the Sitnyakovo side of Borovets, especially when carrying skis on arrival.
