Re Peshterite

Look for the cave in the rocks on the LH side of the piste, as as Dean said, look out for the large display of notice boards on the LH side (immediately after the cave and just pop down behind.

Hey folks,

I'm coming out for my 3rd visit in as many years on 3rd february. Whilst in a bar last feb, we got talking to a couple of old gents (ex pats) who were reccommending a hotel up on the mountain for good food and drink. I think he was saying it sat behind the cafes (Shiligarnika?), at the bottom of the Blue No.4 run. Does that sound right? If so, how do I get to it?

I tend not to venture down the ski road below the top gondola station as I'm on a board and I'm not good ...

I tend not to venture down the ski road below the top gondola station as I'm on a board and I'm not good enough to carry enough speed on the flat bits, so I'm a bit limited as to where I can go for lunch and a beer on the mountain. I was also a bit disappointed by the food on offer in the cafes last year as it was nowhere near as good or varied as was on offer on our first visit in 2010.

Any top tips would be greatly appreciated

Hi Beagleboy,

The Shilgarnika Hotel is about 50yds behind the Blah Blah cafe at the bottom of the Blue 4. We walked to the Hotel after leaving the skis but some people carried their skis or boards with them. Very cheap compared to the establishments on the mountain. Hope this helps.
