A MOUNTAIN FOR EVERYONE

UK & BULGARIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Students from universities across the UK, Bulgaria and beyond come together for one international ski experience—combining beginner-friendly skiing, hosted events and a ready-made community.

A brilliant reset for medical, dental, healthcare and other professionals who want adventure, connection and a properly organised escape.

A welcoming resort for children, parents and mixed-ability groups, with plenty to enjoy together on and off the snow.
THE TAKEOVER EFFECT
DIFFERENT WORLDS.
ONE MOUNTAIN.
Families, solo travellers, university societies, graduates and professionals arrive from different cities and leave as one community. Takeover Ski is especially popular with medical and dental students and professionals, while welcoming every background, age and ability.
Hosted entertainment, shared meals, organised activities and a friendly on-trip team turn a ski break into something much bigger.
Come for the mountains. Leave with memories, friendships and a community that lasts beyond the final lift.
