How to get from Sofia Airport to Borovets
Borovets is Bulgaria’s oldest ski resort and the closest one to Sofia Airport: about 70 km, or 1–1.5 hours by car via Samokov. That makes it a good choice for short ski breaks and late arrivals. There is no airport bus to the resort, so most visitors book a shared shuttle or a private transfer.
Shared or private Borovets transfer?
Shared shuttles are the cheapest option if you travel alone or as a couple. Traventuria, which has a seasonal office in Borovets, runs shared, semi-private and private transfers from Sofia and Plovdiv airports, with one ski bag per person included. For families and groups, a private car or minivan is usually better value because you pay per vehicle, not per person.
Borovets transfer companies
Besides Traventuria, Transfer Bulgaria, Transfers BG, BG Trans, Pirin Transfers and ExLimousine all drive to Borovets. Ask for a fixed price that includes ski equipment, and check the free waiting time if your flight is delayed.

Many skiers stay in cheaper accommodation in Samokov, Beli Iskar or Govedartsi, a short drive from the lifts. Most Borovets transfer companies will drop off there for little or no extra cost, and some also go to the spa town of Sapareva Banya.
