 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Did my first ever skiing trip to Pamporovo in 1986 (yikes!!) and went again a couple of years later - I remember it being limited for skiing, bad food and regular power outages - has it changed?
Now got kids at skiing age and want to take them but money is tight, hence looking at Bulgaria. Doesn't look like the ski runs have improved (but I can suffer that) but concerned about reviews (from Bulgariaski) listing old hire equipment, lifts and queues bad, still bad food etc...
Any updates gratefully received....(we're hopefully going out of half-term)...

what are the actual price differences that make people go to Bulgaria rather than the alps?

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

do not know about the other resorts in Bulgaria but Bansko has a newish gondola system(2004ish) that has made it a great place to ski for families...Bansko has an old town with lots of character although there is alot of new development with lots of new build complexes/hotels.....What attracts families is the relatively cheap prices in the restaurants for food and drink compared with other parts of europe and there is food to suit all tastes
6 day ski pass will set you back about 135 euro for adults & 85 euro for kids under 12
ski hire for 6 days £50 adults £40 kids
transfer from airport approx 170 euro 4-5 persons
apartments sleeping 4 about £250
flights vary when you book them & when for...generally wizzair from Luton & Easyjet from Manchester & Gatwick...also flights from Birmingham..use
www.kayak.co.uk for brum flights....
so pretty cheap compared to other parts of europe 
anyone needing help booking give me a shout...

Anyway - im trying to find something feb19th to anywhere, for about £700 in europe with pass. Anyone! I did look at bulgaria, but im not sure - i have heard bad things, and alot of the resorts look quite small

I am a fan of Bulgaria, but if it is half term that you want to go, I would say stay away from Bansko. The queues there are problem half term and xmas/new year. the rest of the time is great and no waiting around. But half term is a no go for me.
cheers

OK, that is half-board with all lessons, lift passes etc but still not quite the 'budget' I was expecting.
