March 3 in Borovets traditionally combines Bulgaria’s National Day with the active winter season. The public holidays around the date attract visitors who choose the mountains both for skiing and for a quieter stay away from the city.

In early March, slope conditions typically allow for a full day of skiing. By tradition, on March 3 in Borovets many skiers descend the slopes carrying Bulgarian flags. The sight of the tricolour against the snow and mountain backdrop adds further symbolism to the holiday and has become a recognisable highlight of the day in the resort.

Skiing and a Festive Atmosphere Throughout the Day

For some of the guests at Hotel Yastrebets Wellness & SPA, the day begins early with time on the slopes and continues with an afternoon break. The combination of sport and festive atmosphere defines the natural rhythm of March 3 in Borovets – activity during the day followed by gathering in a more informal setting.

Après-Ski Party Between 11:00 and 16:00

On the occasion of the National Day, Hotel Yastrebets will host an après-ski party on the terrace between 11:00 and 16:00. The event will accompany the most active part of the day and will allow guests to join at any time after their runs.

The terrace barbecue will be lit and the space will be open for meetings and conversations outdoors. The initiative aims to bring guests together in a natural festive setting without disrupting the rhythm of the ski day.

Traditional Bulgarian Dishes for March 3

The holiday will also be marked in the hotel restaurant with a menu dedicated to Bulgarian cuisine. The chefs will ensure that traditional Bulgarian dishes are included in the day’s offerings in keeping with the symbolism of the date.

In this way, March 3 in Borovets brings together several natural elements – skiing, shared time outdoors and Bulgarian cuisine. The holiday remains a day of remembrance and appreciation, observed in a mountain setting and in the rhythm of the winter season.
