Your questions about Razlog, answered
How high is Razlog?
The lifts run from 820m at the base to 2600m at the top, a vertical of 1780m. Of the 15 resorts we track in Bulgaria, that is the 3rd highest, with the biggest vertical.
The base is below 1,000m, so the lowest runs are the first to suffer in a mild spell; the upper mountain is the safer bet early and late in the season.
Is Razlog good for beginners or experts?
The pistes at Razlog split 30% beginner, 50% intermediate and 20% advanced, against an average of 31% beginner and 22% advanced across the resorts we track in Bulgaria.
On those numbers it suits beginners and intermediates.
When is the ski season at Razlog?
February is the best all-round month on the record, with an average base of 30cm, 52cm of new snow and 3.0 bluebird days.
