The free transport is intended only for skiers and snowboarders using the Borosport ski facilities.

Markudjik Ski Center

With their professional support, individually or in a group, you will quickly learn the necessary techniques and soon you will have the pleasure of descending the perfectly prepared slopes of Borovets.
The Borosport Kindergarten, located in Hotel Rila, is perfect for the youngest skiers between 4 and 8 years old.

NB: Important information and advice from “Borosport” Ski and Snowboard School if you are planning to take ski/snowboard lessons:

Book your ski/snowboard lessons (group or individual) as early as possible, especially if you are planning a ski/snowboard vacation in February. As half-term week varies across the UK, most of February is quite busy.

“Borosport” Ski/Snowboard School offers group lessons for up to 12-13 people in a group in order to provide personal attention to all participants. As the groups are arranged by ability level, each reservation for group lessons is firmly confirmed if booked in advance, latest by November before the ski season starts.

Although “Borosport” does everything possible to accommodate every last-minute inquiry for group or individual lessons, during half-term in February availability is limited.

During the busiest periods in February, individual lessons are available daily but for one hour only, from 8:30 until 9:30 a.m. and from 3:30 until 4:30 p.m., as most of the instructors are occupied with group lessons.

During the rest of the ski season, individual lessons with longer duration are offered and can be booked easily.

Borokids Snow Park

Located in the center of Borovets, at the foothill of the slope in front of the Rila hotel, the children's snow park "Borokids" is the ideal place for the resort’s youngest guests to learn how to ski. Equipped with special colorful equipment and under the guidance of experienced instructors, here children can take their first skiing lessons. The "magic" lane, carousel and slalom with fairy-tale characters will help the little ones fall in love with skiing and quickly learn the necessary techniques and movements.

It can also be used as part of the program of the children's ski garden, which is offered jointly by Borosport and the Rila hotel for children from 4 to 8 years old.
