"It is a place where you can train skiing and snowboarding indoors all year long. They have a bar, you can have a drink while waiting. Staff is friendly. Parking, you can park in the mall across the place. I recommend booking in advance."

"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."

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, 9 metres long at 14°, 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 with mulled wine, grog and Mursal tea is right next to the slope.
⛷ Ages 4 and up⏱ 1 hour session👥 Up to 6 per hour🍷 Mountain bar📍 Next to Sky City Mall
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 are the ski lessons for kids in Sofia that 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.
Rent the whole slope
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, and works 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. Tell us the date and how many people, and we arrange the rest with CARVE.
