2-day ski equipment rental in Borovets: On-slope pickup

Pick up skis on the slope, not at a desk

A 2-day ski equipment rental in Borovets sits directly on the Rila slope between the two lifts, letting you collect skis and boots the evening before you ski or on the morning of your first run. Skis and poles. Ski boots included. You can book online before arrival or visit the rental point Alpin on the evening before your first ski day and choose your gear in person. Equipment storage and insurance are available as add-ons at checkout.

The experience

The rental center sits in the heart of Borovets on the Rila slope, positioned between the two lifts and within walking distance of most hotels in the area. Because it's directly on the slope rather than in a separate building, you skip the lines that pile up at traditional ski rental desks on opening day. Working hours run from 8:15 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., so you can collect your equipment the evening before your first ski day and be ready to head straight to the trails the next morning.

Book your skis, poles and boots online before you arrive, or visit in person and choose what suits you. The rental point has a modern ski depot with a hot-air drying and disinfection system for the equipment. You don't need to carry your gear anywhere. It's already at the base where you'll use it.

Children from age 3 are welcome. The rental center stocks children-sized helmets at its ski school, though helmets and goggles are not part of the standard rental package. Lift passes and ski jackets or pants are also separate. If you want your equipment stored between days or covered by rental insurance, you can add those options when you book.
