Super Borovets Project
The Super Borovets project is one of the largest and most expensive investment & development projects in Bulgarian history. The Super Borovets project will enlarge the current Borovets town to encompass the nearby towns of Samokov and Beli Iskar.
The resort will be divided into three levels, the prices on each level will differ according to the financial status of the visitor.
- Level 1 or Low Borovets - a brand new development just out side of Samokov town, this area will cater for those who less economically viable tourists, but still has very easy connections and transport with Borovets and the ski area (see later in the article). Around 5,000 beds.
- Level 2 or Real Borovets - comprises the existing Borovets town with extensive investment and developement. Around 10,000 beds. This is the main accomodation area
- Level 3 or Super Borovets - caters for those looking for 5-star hotels & a luxury experience. No more than 2,000 - 2,500 beds.
The project started in 2004 and was originally planned to be completed by 2009, however several setbacks have delayed the progress somewhat.
More Pistes = More Skiing
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 90Km. To cope with the higher demand for lifts & gondolas 12 new lifts will be built.
One of these lifts will be a multi-station gondola which connects Borovets to Samokov allowing skiiers easy access to the slopes from the Lower Borovets developement site. At least one of the new pistes to be constructed will take skiiers / riders back to Lower Borovets ensuring visitors can ski back home whichever portion of Super Borovets they reside in.
The Super Borovets project was designed to bring the resort and Bulgaria to the forefront of holiday destinations & to ensure that Borovets is looked at as a year-round holiday resort with swimming pools, gymnasia, cinemas, hiking & biking as well as many other summer sports.
