For the first time in several years, Bulgaria lost its position as the cheapest ski destination in Europe. According to research by Post Office Travel Money and Crystal Ski Holidays, the resort of Bardonecchia in Italy beat the Bulgarian Borovets in terms of the best value for money. Borovets, the leader in previous years, is now in second place, having experienced a price increase of 8.2%.

Even the most popular Bulgarian resort of Bansko, which was once the cheapest, is now outside the top five, with prices rising by 18.1%. Italy’s Bardonecchia will cost tourists approximately 445 euros, while a holiday in Borivtsi costs 460 euros. The study also found that prices at nine of the 31 resorts examined had fallen, with the largest reductions in France and Switzerland. However, 12% of respondents plan a winter skiing holiday between December and April.
