Bulgaria Ski discussion board

My family and I, went to Arinsal over New Year last year. Found it good and entertaining from a family perspective. The skiing wasn't challenging though. However, and despite a lack of snow, the resort pulled out all the stops to provide as much artificial snow as possible. The resort was good for children, my 7 year old certainly benefitted from good tuition. Clearly there was a lot more slopes that could have been tackled, had the snow been there in sufficient quantities. I believe though that most european resorts suffered the same plight last year. I for one, am off to Borovets this year, for the first time and really looking forward. Keep up the good sources of info on this site, it certainly helps.

Went to Andorra 2 years ago, styed in Pal - Arinsal resort.

Great place, great craic, great runs, great people, great food and nightlife etc. Overall a really really enjoyable experience.

Went to Pamps in Bulgaria last year, what a kip ! travelled from Ireland with 10 buddies, not 1 of us enjoyed the place, The Hotel Orlevets where we stayed was probably the best part of the holiday.

Piste wasent too bad just very crowded, The actual place seemed dirty and run down, nightlife was very very poor, not much to chose from at all. It seemed very "British" orientated aswell, I dont mean that in a bad way at all but not much other nationalities seemed to stay in Pamps, I wouldnt go back there but then again I wouldnt say we had a nightmare holiday either.

All in all, Andorra = Much better fun, much better runs, much better resorts with more bars, clubs, restaurants. Bulgaria = poor & dirty.

Take it chalk and cheesy folks,

A chara buachaill Do Mhaith,
