Borosport, the company operating the slopes and lifts in Borovets officially informed us today that a number of new facilities for skiers and snowboarders will be launched for the new season:
»1 new piste, called 'Rotata', for snowboarders
Location: Starting from the top of the 4-seat lift
Total length: 1240 meters
Displacement: 302 meters
The new slope comes with various hardship in its certain areas: in the upper and middle part it is suitable for advanced and intermediate snowboarders and in its lower part it is good for beginners.
On the lower part of the slope will be installed a portable toe bar (drag lift).
This new facility corresponds to the highest standards and requirements for safety and features various hardship levels in its certain areas. It also eliminates the danger of collisions between snowboarders and skiers.
