We have lots of great advice for winter stag do ideas. During the dark days of December to April, we hope to be a beacon of light for your stag plans. These are our essential top tips for any winter stag weekend abroad.

Ski Stag Do

Whether a snow virgin or not, ski stag weekends are the obvious choice for winter time fun. But don’t take our word for it, just read the reviews of our returning groups. Our top selling ski packages are in Bulgaria. Typically, most groups go for 3 nights with 2 days of skiing but of course it’s possible to go for longer or shorter depending on your group’s needs. The two most popular resorts are Borovets and Bansko, although the vast majority of our groups will go to Borovets, being the bigger and better mountain area.

Borovets boasts some of the best ski slopes in all of Europe. The beer is phenomenally cheaper than France and Austria, and the après-ski is on another level. Bachelors will find over 20 bars and discos and will be staying close to the best strip clubs in Borovets. Everything is walkable, which means more time for skiing and drinking. See our night guide to Borovets.

Transfer times from Sofia airport to Borovets is just over 1 hour, making it a very accessible for a ski stag do on limited time. Direct flights to Sofia airport cost less than £100, and you’ll be able to find routes served by: Ryan Air, Easy Jet, British Airways and Wizz Air.

For friends that want more of a ski stag holiday, combing mountain slopes with a capital city, then we’d strongly recommend Sofia or Ljubljana. To get the full low down; read our blog article: Why a Ski Stag Weekend. It covers a lot of areas including non-skiers, beginners, fitness, best time for snow etc.

Sofia Stag Weekends

Skiing stag weekends in Sofia  are becoming increasingly popular, due to the easy access to the Rila Mountains. The Bulgarian capital is super cheap in comparison to London and Manchester, so our UK revellers know there’s a bargain to be enjoyed. Ljubljana the capital of Slovenia is another destination for a short ski break in Europe. Prices are low, the Krvavec Resort is only 40 minutes drive away and the Slovenian capital has some of the best clubs in Europe. By staying in a capital stag parties can do one day of skiing and the next day go-karting or shooting automatic weapons. Unlike France and Austria you are not taking out second mortgages when you get a round of double vodka red bulls in Eastern Europe. So if considering winter stag do ideas, then put Bulgaria and Slovenia on the table.

Winter Festivals

If you like skiing and music, then this winter stag idea is definitely for you. It’s the perfect combination of hedonism at night; après ski in the afternoon and recharging with clean mountain air during the days. Winter Festivals are the must-do events to try. The biggest named acts never like to miss these boutique events. Enjoy incredible sounds in unbelievable mountain locations.

The best ski festivals in Europe are: Snowbombing, Rise, Tomorrowland Winter, Altitude and Snowboxx. All known for their epic open air raves, quirky pop-up stages and bringing the world’s most exciting DJs and comedians. If interested in having a stag do that coincides with these festivals, just budget for a much more expensive package. Flights and hotels all double-up during the dates. Also, these festivals are based in Austria and France, so expect beer prices of over 10 Euros a pint. If that starts looking too expensive for your friends (it is for most) then we’d highly recommend the snow Ibiza, and head to Borovets in Bulgaria.

Curling

Ok so this one really is out there but worth a read if nothing else. A few years back we were lucky enough to be invited by the Les 2 Alpes tourist board to experience a winter stag do in Les Deux Aples. Renowned for its crazy off-piste club culture and fun filled tavernas, this is a resort that can offer more than just skiing and snowboarding parks. You’ve probably seen curling during the Olympics. So why not try for yourselves at their indoor facility. It’s a unique activity, perfectly suited for winter stag dos, and right way to turn up the banter and competition.

Snowmobiling

If your friends are looking to book a true wild winter activity, then head to Andorra. Heading deep into the mountain range that surrounds Pas de la Casa, we embark on a brilliant winter stag do event. Deep snowmobile safari, led an ex-military British Commando. You’ll ride over snowfields, up glaciers and cross frozen rivers. Sit, drink and banter around the camp fire and sleep well in wilderness huts along the 4 night excursion. On the last day, stag parties can switch from snowmobile to husky dogs and finish their journey being one with nature. Ask our ski stag team for more information.

Ice Karting

Go karting is a popular activity for stag weekends. So we can highly recommend ice karting for your winter stag do in Bansko. It’s a totally fresh experience, using studded tyres, where skill overplays power. Warm-up laps are given, then we move the race to heats and final qualifications. The winner of the ice karting receives trophy, champagne and a medal. We can also put the groom in the slowest kart and in a Mario Brothers costume.

Giant Golf

As well as an array of cosy pubs and nightclubs, the French resort of Tignes boasts a number of brilliant stag activities during the colder months. One of the best winter stag do ideas is Giant Golf, which only costs 20 euros per head for 18 holes. There will be a tournament referee included, taking score and taking pictures of your group.
