The largest and most developed ski resorts in Bulgaria are Bansko, Borovets and Pamporovo. However, Mount Vitosha, which is 10 km from Sofia and the highest in the country is perfect for both beginner ski runs and challenging slopes with heavy snowfall until late in the season on the highest peaks. 

Flights to Bulgaria start at £24.68 one-way including taxes, fees and charges.
