Popular with families and those looking for a budget winter getaway, Bulgaria, along with the other Eastern European countries such as Slovenia, Serbia and Romania, is renowned for its up-and-coming ski facilities at knockdown prices. A New Year ski holiday in Bulgaria is an excellent choice for novice skiers, as the resorts have good beginners' areas, quiet slopes, even during this busy season, and extensive English-speaking instruction. Choose from three resorts for a New Year ski holiday in Bulgaria - Borovets, the oldest and now most modern resort, Pamporovo, known for its extensive sunshine and Bansko, the most up-and-coming resort, thanks to massive investment and development in its facilities. The resorts typically open in December and, now that snowmaking facilities have been developed further, a New Year ski holiday in Bulgaria offers more reliable conditions on its slopes, even this early on into its season.
