Are you keen to take part in some winter sports this festive season but are unsure of where to go? By booking a Christmas ski tour to Europe, you'll be able to experience fantastic skiing and snowboarding, as well as an amazing apres ski scene. The UK's famously unpredictable weather can make it difficult to know for certain when you will be able to go skiing; however, by going to the continent you will be able to visit resorts where fantastic conditions are guaranteed throughout the whole winter. One place where this will certainly be the case is the Bulgarian resort of Borovets. This is the largest winter sports resort in eastern Europe and with over 58 km of pistes and permanent snow cover from November to May, this is likely to be the ideal place for an active break over the festive period. Experienced skiers and snowboarders will definitely find lots to challenge their skills here, as there are not only cross-country and biathlon tracks, but also several black-grade runs and the opportunity to go night skiing. However, if you're a little less skilled on the slopes don't worry that a trip here will be unsuitable for you. Borovets also has several red and blue courses designed for intermediate skiers, as well as green ones that cater for beginners. If this is your first winter sport holiday it may be a good idea to enrol at the on-site school where English-speaking instructors will guide you through what you need to know in order to ski and snowboard safely. Of course, the main focus of a ski tour is the winter sport activities you'll be trying, but Borovets has plenty more that will captivate your interest, so after an exhilarating day on the pistes, why not head to a spa to sooth your muscles and relax? The resort also has a vibrant apres ski scene and there's the chance to sample both Bulgarian and international cuisine at the numerous restaurants to be found here, before having a couple of drinks at a bar or pub. In fact, Borovets's vibrant party atmosphere is bound to be a match for any festivals in Europe you've been to and you'll be able to dance well into the early hours of the morning. Just outside the resort, you can visit the amazing Carska Bistrica palace or the Rila Monastery, both of which are sure to make for exciting afternoon excursions. Whether you're looking for snowboarding runs that will test your abilities to the limit or are keen to enjoy the apres ski scene of one of Europe's best winter sport resorts, a Christmas snow tour is a fantastic way to spend the festive season.
