CARVE is Bulgaria's first indoor ski centre and the easiest way to try indoor ski in Sofia in any month of the year. The slope moves under your skis like an endless run, and a certified instructor works with beginners for the whole session. Children from age 4, adults, families and teams all ski in the same one-hour format, with skis or a snowboard, boots and protective gear included. Prices start at €21, and the mountain bar is right next to the slope.

"I wanted to kill some time between business meetings and got an individual lesson to work on my skiing skills. I really appreciated it… When you go to real slopes, you only need a few minutes to adapt and you already have the correct technique. Highly recommended!"
"Great place, a really friendly instructor. Even though we were in a group session, he still managed to give everyone individual attention."
"Great place to train skiing and snowboarding. There is always an instructor teaching. Ten minutes on the slope, ten minutes resting, three times, for thirty minutes of actual skiing in the hour."
"17 of us on a work trip used the indoor ski conveyor system, it was a really interesting challenge, something different! With a bar next to the skiing it was fine to take it in turns while the others relaxed and watched… Really friendly team, really good training and advice."
Kids means children up to 14. The first session costs the same for everyone, and the whole slope is a flat €100 an hour for your group, ski or snowboard. You pay the full amount by card once we confirm your time. Cancelling 24 hours or more before the session gives a full refund; later cancellations and no-shows are not refunded. Multi-session packages: ask us on WhatsApp.
Indoor skiing at CARVE starts at age 4. Children under 7 begin with a one-to-one lesson, and the instructor decides when they are ready to join a group. These ski lessons for kids work in winter and summer alike, with no mountain trip and no rental queue.
Skis or a board, boots and protective gear are all included, so children only need long socks and clothes that can get a little wet. Prices for children up to 14 are lower, and parents can wait at the mountain bar while the lesson runs.
The slope is a wide conveyor that moves under you, so you keep skiing without reaching the bottom. Each hour is three rounds of 10 minutes on the slope with 10 minutes of rest in between, so up to six people can take turns with the instructor. Beginners learn the basic turns and stops, and those who already ski use it to fix their technique before a trip to the mountains.
Snowboard lessons in Sofia run in the same group and private formats as ski. You can bring your own boots, but not your own skis or board.
For €100 an hour your group has the slope to itself: no other guests, and you set the pace with the instructor. It suits birthdays, school groups and corporate team-building, for ski or snowboard. The mountain bar is next to the slope, so whoever is not skiing at that moment can watch with a drink.
CARVE is at 52 Kosta Lulchev Street, right next to Sky City Mall, where you can park. The slope is open Monday to Friday 08:00 to 22:00 and weekends 09:00 to 22:00, and the mountain bar until midnight. Come 10 to 15 minutes early for boot sizing and a short form. Open in Google Maps →
From €21 a session with the equipment and an instructor included, and the mountain bar right next to the slope.
