Borovets and Prices

Just got back from a day in Boro (I live in Sofia), prices I paid were as follows:

Park the car - 5 Lev
half day ski pass - 16.50 Lev

Nachos and tin of coke (was passed 'use by' date) 15.50 Lev

My view is that the skiing remains good value despite the limited runs but the restaurants and bars are now jut getting ridiculous. There is no business reason for their prices to be 3 or 4 times higher than Sofia, it is just pure short term greed.

re: Borovets and Prices

where did you park?

re: Borovets and Prices

right by the chairlift....5 lev was the half day charge and the guy didnt seem to want to give me a ticket

re: Borovets and Prices

Bear in mind the half day pass price stated is at reduced weekend rate when the Bulgarians go.

Usual price is 27levs for half day

re: Borovets and Prices

thats not bad eh? (for the parking)
is it still free round at yastrabets does any1 know?

re: Borovets and Prices

Parking around Borovets towards the Sitnakovo lift (black run) is normally 10 levs per day. If you can get back a bit and avoid the police you can park for free but you have to be a little sly. The Samakov carpark just down and opposite the gondola is good if you are there early and its very secure (guys on the barrier) and a similar price.

re: Borovets and Prices

Actually 10 levs (although it is expensive relatively) is a bargain not to have to spend a fortune and a day in time trying to get your car back from some crook who has towed it away.

Lol indeed, those wonderful guys with the spider trucks...!

Fact is, very little in Boro is overpriced except for the bars and restaurants
