We are worried! About to confirm a weeks family ski holiday 9 feb to Bansko but today have been rather put off my many comments about long morning queues to get up the mountain - many comments seemed to have been over the christmas holls - and 9th Feb is not UK half term week (which is the following week) - so I am hoping we may be lucky however ....... but could do with some 'inside' knowledge - the thought of queuing for 2-3 hours makes me want to book France!

An alternative would be to book Bovorets but reviews seem to indicate Bansko is more family and slightly more up market with slightly better skiing for more advanced (we are a very mixed ability groups!) again - inside comments very welcome before I press that button!

hi we went 3rd feb last year, @ gondalor around 9.30 - 10.30am, never had a problem
think around xmas the russians invade
we had a great time, and luved walking down to the old town, great value bars and resturants, full of atmosphere

DON'T PRESS THE BUTTONOnly joking , Bansko wins hands down for families over Borovets
QUEUE WISE , if you get there early enough , queues are minimal .
Worse case you can booma private transfer up the hill , and anyway when it gets busy Ulen also put free buses on to take ppl up

Thanks!re: Bansko morning mountain queues
Book the kempinski and you get priority pass and don't have to queue.we did this last year and its great,can't wait till the 26th
re: Bansko morning mountain queues
We have already purchased out pass's, do you know if you can upgrade to the priority pass? This is our first time in Bansko, we normally ski at Boro.Cheers

re: Bansko morning mountain queues
The Kempinski fast track pas is for hotel guests only , and its actually more expensive than the normal pass ( but then you do sometime dont have to queue)You cant upgrade , the only other way of fast tracking is by buying a season pass
Even tempting a Ulen employee with a back hander no longer happens
