Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi all,

I'm going on my first skiing trip ever, and I'm really excited!! Just wanted to share! Going on the 12th to Bansko, staying at hotel Perun. We have lessons booked through Crystal Ski, and I'm expecting my legs to be killing me as I've been told to work out and prepare, but have done nothing in preparation! oops!

Anyone stayed at the perun and can tell me if its good? Ive seen mixed reviews,, and a bit concerned about the food, as my husband and I are both vegetarian.. Also is it close to the gondola?

Is anyone else going same time as us?

Went on my first ski holiday last year to Bansko, I had a great time, didn't think I'd get anywhere with the skiing but must say the lessons were great, was flying come the end of the week.

Manisha, it's usually 2nd or 3rd day your legs will really feel sore but keep with it, it's worth the pain. I didn't stay in Hotel Perun so I can't comment but there are lovely Mehanas in the town, there is a lovely restaurant at the crossroads coming down from the gondola in the town but can't recall the name. i agree with Daniel, you'll find loads of veggie options so you will be fine. Have a great trip. I'm heading to Boro this Sunday so hopefully i'll have as good a week as I did in Bansko last year

yep we stayed at the Perun few years back..food was ok,but not sure now.....anyway venture out as food in the restaurants(mehana's) is much better...also the Perun has a mehana which is the round building next to it which you go down the stairs to...again been in there once and it was a few years back...

you will have a free shuttle bus to the gondola everyday...but Peruns not too far away although you would probably not want to walk it in ski boots....

overall the hotel is a well run hotel and you will love it...great hotel bar with big log fire..prices will be slightly more than in bars and restaurants like most hotels.....

also great indoor pool and a nice outdoor pool for the summer
