Poster: A snowHead
|
My wife and myself are seasoned skiers but we are on the look out for an affordable Christmas trip with our two children aged 9 and 6.
We don’t have the same availability of holidays from Belfast or even Dublin so prices to the usual spots are high.
I can get a deal for £2400.00 for the whole family incl H/B and all ski packs. Very good price but snow looks average and small resort.
On plus side never been to Bulgaria so a new country to tick off.
Thoughts people?

@johnboy, I did go there with my family back over the New Year 91/92 and it was certainly cheap and good for what we wanted. I believe they’ve extended the skiing a bit, but it was limited back then and I could ski the whole resort in less than a day. We had a big dump of snow, so that helped. I can’t advise on what it’s like now or how much more there is to ski now. I wouldn’t go back, but as I say it did the job back then.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Being 'seasoned skiers' you'll likely get bored quickly.
The area has been extended a fair bit, even a bus ride out to Chepelare, but it's still quite limited and snow can be a real issue ...... unless they've already got a decent base I'd be wary.
Kids'll probably love it.
Balkan Holidays is the best TO, all things considered.

Bulgaria ticked a box for us when the credit crunch hit and was actually one of the best holidays we've had.
Hotel- good
Food- Acceptable
Price - Low
Quality of people in the hotel who we skied with - great

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I went in january 2010 and when we arrived the resort looked like the pennines-more green and brown than white! It did snow on the 3rd day so some pistes were skiable but even the first timers found it limited. That may have been a one off but it's a risk.
