Most places have big parties on New Year's eve. Last year, we spent it in Titanic and will again this year. Loads of free shots and some free nibbles.

Thanks

Hi Lyn

The Samakov is fine. Food in the resturant is a bit iffy but its so cheap to eat out so who cares.

You can hire skis and passes from the ski school beneath the Samakov. Dont know prices - sorry
