Description

Chalet UB is a 6-bedroom chalet owned and run by an English group of friends and colleagues with a genuine love of snow sports and the beautiful scenery of the country of Bulgaria. We have previously been on fantastic chalet holidays together to France, Italy and Austria, but noticed that there is a complete lack of this type of accommodation in the Borovets area. So, our vision was to create an Alpine style top class chalet in the heart of the Rila Mountains providing a chalet group holiday option for those wishing to sample one of Europe’s most up and coming unspoilt tourist destinations.

We are dedicated to ensuring that your stay with us is as enjoyable and memorable as possible in every way. Chalet UB is based on the sort of accommodation we would want when on holiday and has been renovated to include many creature comforts including –a sauna, new fitted kitchen, 3 new shower rooms, large screen TV with DVDs, Playstation, music system, covered communal balcony area, sun terraces, large garden with an outdoor hot tub to be added in the near future.

We believe we have created a haven for you to retire to after a full day in the mountains, on the slopes, or enjoying the local attractions – give us a try, we are sure you will agree!!

Bulgaria

Nestling in the heart of Eastern Europe, Bulgaria is a land of unspoilt natural beauty, where time has been known to stand still. It is a country of great contrasts.

Bulgaria is an interesting and intriguing experience for anyone - for those who love the warm southern sea or snow-covered slopes, for those who want to see it's cultural and historic monuments, for those who wish to delight in its unique and living folklore, for young people fond of sports, for families with children, for the aged and for those who dream of carefree holidays.

Bulgaria's natural landscape is full of surprises -

• endless, sandy beaches along the Black Sea

wild mountain ranges and lush green hills

fertile plains

magnificent gorges and rivers

health spas and natural springs

Bulgaria is famous for long balmy Summers, fantastic mountain regions, wonderful snow conditions and sun drenched vine-yards.

Chalet UB is situated in the Rila Mountains close to Sofia.

Local leisure activites

The Borovets area is a great destination for winter holidays, having an excellent snow record and all winter sport activities you would expect from a first class resort. See our section on Borovets for more detailed information.

SKIING
Although a beginners paradise, there are runs to suit intermediates, advanced and expert skiers. The runs are maintained to the highest international standards and
have multilingual signs. The Borovets Ski School is renowned as one the best in Europe with around 200 ski instructors fluent in many different languages.

SNOWBOARDING
Snowboarding in Borovets is extremely popular. With an impressive snow record, the area has all types of runs from easy greens to steeper red and black runs for the more technical riders. There is a huge potential for free riding with easily accessible powder and for freestyle riders there are a few kickers and rails.

SKI-DOOS
Snowmobiles or ski-doos are a fun option for winter sports enthusiasts. These can be hired in Borovets and driven around the spectacular Rila Mountains.

SLEDGING
Sledges can be bought or hired from the shops around Borovets and this is a fun activity for young and old on the nursery slopes.

NIGHT SKIING
Borovets is one of the best places in Europe to enjoy Skiing and Snowboarding into the evening, when the sun goes down the floodlights come on and you can enjoy hours more fun on the slopes. The experience is not to be missed with the snow covered slopes and pine trees look magical against the night sky. It also means that you do not have to get out of bed at the crack of dawn to enjoy a full day on the slopes.

NIGHTLIFE
One of the big draws of Borovets in the ski season is the nightlife. Not only is the
food and drink very cheap compared to most of the EU but there is a wide range of establishments to choose from. Whether it be buzzing bars and nightclubs, quiet
bars overlooking the floodlit slopes, atmospheric resturants or a quick bite to eat
at the side of the road, Borovets has it all!.

As well as relaxing on the balconies or gardens at your chalet in the glorious summer sunshine, there are many other things to keep you entertained in Borovets in the summer.

GOLF
A brand new golf course is being built only 5 minutes from Chalet UB. The new course is situated in an area of stunning natural beauty down in a valley surrounded by mountain peaks, and is being designed by the son of legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus.
The Ibar Golf Club & Spa will not only represent this well renowned golf brands’ first project in Bulgaria but also its first in Southeast Europe.
The fact that an international brand such as Nicklaus are investing in the area re-inforces the potential and draw that this part of Bulgaria has.
The Golf Club AIR SOFIA is located 50 kilometers southeast of the capital Sofia in the outskirts of the town of Ihtiman and is also only 30 minutes from Maritsa and Chalet UB.
The Golf club has been in active operation since June 2000 and includes an 18 hole golf course, horse riding club, 2-lane bowling, squash hall, 2 tennis halls, outdoor swimming pool (25 x 12.5 m), indoor swimming pools, childrens playground, table tennis and bar.

FLYING / SCENIC FLIGHTS
Dolna Banya Airport is the first private airport in Bulgaria, fully licensed under the requirements of Civil Aviation Authority. It is situated in the upper Maritsa river valley, just 5-10 minutes from Chalet UB. The whole area is perfect for flying and what better way to view the wonderful scenery including mineral springs, rugged mountains and forest reserves.
The airport offers pilot tutorials, trial flying lessons and picturesque scenic passenger flights over the Rila mountains and Borovets ski resort for that birds eye view of the area.

MOUNTAINEERING AND ROCK CLIMBING
It is difficult to surpass the excitement of climbing in Bulgaria, and the keen mountaineer will never forget the thrill of the many ascents the mountains have to offer. Experienced guides are available and not only ensure that you make the most of your climb, but are also on hand should an emergency arise.
Besides the chance to follow mountaineering courses, trips are organised by specialised agencies in the area of Rila Mountains.

Cycling, Fishing, Golf, Horse riding, Mountain Biking, Mountaineering, Extreme sports, Sailing, Skiing, Walking, Watersports

Directions

Chalet UB is nestled in the quaint and picturesque mountain village of Maritsa. Maritsa is a traditional Bulgarian village named after the river that runs through the village and has a population of approx 700 people. It is located only 15 minutes from the slopes, shops and nightlife that the international resort of Borovets has to offer. Borovets is a major international winter resort with many ski runs and a summer hiking base with the gondola lift running year round. Maritsa itself has a beautiful church, which can be seen from Chalet UB’s balconies, a traditional tavern for those who fancy a quiet drink with the locals and within a few minutes walk you can be alone enjoying the wilderness of this stunning mountain region.

Maritsa is easy to find and Chalet UB has ample parking area for your hire car (if required). The village is just 45 minutes from Sofia airport with the majority of the journey being on the excellent new Highway 1. There are interesting surrounding villages such as Raduil with its local shops, cafe and interesting monuments including a communist tank and plane. Dolna Banya is a spa town with an Olympic sized mineral water pool and many Mehanas and Restaurants, it will soon be home to a Nicklaus designed 18 hole golf championship golf course. Samakov the other side of Borovets is the largest town in the region and offers a collection of shops, markets, an attractive church and tree-lined boulevards with restaurants and coffee houses.
