Hi Guys,Have found this site so good for Bulgaria do any of you know if there is anything like it for Andorra ?
am thinking of going in March but don't know which resort to choose, any help from you all would be great
re: ? anyone been to
Yeah dont go to Andorra go to Borovets instead ive been to both and would go back to Boro every time, as far as the skiing goes they are both as good as each other just Boro is much much cheeper. Ok so the food or hotels are not as good but when you take into account how much you spend during your week the Bulgaria wins every time, Until 2007 that is.

ive been to andora and wouldnt go back ,no cover on mountains and if the wind gets up you have to abandon runs,re: ? anyone been to
Ditto.Been to Andorra. Cheapish. Stayed in Saint Gothard Hotel, Arinsal OK. Wouldn't rush back.
Stayed at Rilla, Borovets last year and going back this year. Nuff said.

PS. In Borovets you can ski right upto your hotel.In Arinsol you need to take a packed telecabin upto and down from the slopes.
re: ? anyone been to Andorra
Same as all the above comments. Did Arinsal last year & just back from Bulgaria yeaterday. They don't compare. If you want to party, choose Borovets, if you want traditional charm, go for Bansko. If you are complete beginners, go for Pamps.re: ? anyone been to Andorra

cheers everyone !!I just arrived back from Borovets early this morning and had a good time although the conditions were crap and Skiing was almost as bad by the end of the week, We even jacked it in Friday morning because it was so bad.
I think Borovets is great for first timers but found it a tad limited, also got a boarder for a Hubby and he found it quite limited too.
cheers for the honesty guys

Just Got back from Borovets yesterday and also just did Pass dela cassa, Andorra on the 26th of December.
Borovets, never again. Skiing crap due to no snow, some of the button lifts were terrible for the less experienced therefore concentrating people in one or two areas, people in the resort try to rip you off at every turn(taxis, bars, money changers etc), prices too high given our Pamporovo experience (loved it) last year. In my own opinion Borovets is trying to act like a full five ...

In my own opinion Borovets is trying to act like a full five star austrian/french/swiss resort without the infrastructure in place. On a positive side for Borovets two of our party were absolute begineers, the Samokov ski school was excellent and had them confidently enjoying themselves in a few days. IMO its a beginner resort and thats about it.
Andorra. I keep hearing people saying its bad but when did they last visit? There are three to four valleys all connected on the same lift pass, the skiing is excellent there (I have ski'ed for many years and sampled lots of places). Drinks are cheaper in andorra than borovets given the measures. Our holiday to Andorra cost us less than the one to Borovets, facts speak for themselves!
Cheers
