The Bulgarian ski resort of Borovets was named a budget destination in Europe for lovers of winter outdoor activities.
As The Sun writes, researchers from the British foreign exchange company Eurochange based their findings on factors such as the price of a lift ticket, accommodation prices, ski rental prices, and food and drink prices.

However, she described Bulgaria’s Borovets as an underrated destination with incredibly low food and drink prices and a ski pass for a whole week for less than £150 (about US$190). Prices for one-day ski passes start from just £29 (about US$37) and ski hire is just £10 per day (less than US$13).
