Ski Chalet Picabo is located in the highest mountain on the Balkan Peninsula in the picturesque village of Madjare. It is only 7 miles from the slopes of Bulgaria"s International ski resort Borovets that offers a great variety of ski runs.



A new 350 million EURO project called "Super Borovets" will add many more miles of ski runs and new lifts making Borovets one of the top ski resorts across Europe.



A further project is planned which could add a further 70 km of ski runs with development of spa and eco tourism to further enhance the region. If this project goes ahead it is possible that the village of Madjare will have its own ski lift as this project is planned around the village.



With Super Borovets already under construction and further tourism projects planned, it is expected that Borovets will become one of Europe"s hot spots for skiing and other mountain activities.



Prices are rising an average of 30 to 40 per cent each year and are likely to rise further with the above projects either under construction or planned.

About the area:



FOR THOSE CONSIDERING RETIRING ABROAD:



Unlike the UK, Bulgaria is a very inexpensive place to live and therefore would make an ideal place to retire to. Bulgaria is a country of outstanding natural beauty and there is a laid back pace of life (particularly in the villages). All over Bulgaria and in particular the mountains, the air is fresh and unpolluted and is renowned for its eco environment.



Petrol is notably much cheaper than in the UK due to lower state taxes. Council tax can typically be approximately £100 per year, not per month! All commodities are much lower in cost and a car would typically cost around £3000 less than in the UK.



As large parts of Bulgaria remain undeveloped and are used for agriculture land the local produce is of a high standard. Bulgaria is also a well-known wine producing country.



Eating out is inexpensive and a typical main course meal and 2/3 large beers would cost about £3.50, which gives a good indication of how cheap it is to live in Bulgaria.



Many British people have already "taken the plunge" and permanently moved to Bulgaria. There is already a growing British community in Bulgaria.
