Hello, thinking about heading to Bansko in January. Never been sking before! Can anyone please tell me about ski hire, lessons etc? any suggestions? any idea of cost? Id appreciate any help, as totally clueless
I would book a learn to ski package through the tour op usually a really great deal. You normally get ski hire, boots, lift passes and lessons for around £100 to £150, the lift pass is usually £100 on its own.
The best place to learn in my opnion is pamps lot gently slopes and increases your confidence quickly, Plus pamps has a better attmosphere and night life. Bansko is better if you can ski more challenging slopes.
Pamps has a less reliable snow record and with the new Chalin Valog area there's plenty of scope for beginners in bansko. Bansko also has the 7km ski road you should be skiing by day 3 or 4.
Thanks for replies. Was hoping to book it myself but called into travel agents today. they said a learn to ski pack in 194euro. anyone think i cud get cheaper if tried booking myself, as wud like to bk flights and accomm separately if could.
