Bussed out if no snow

Can someone please confirm. Ive been informed by my travel agent that if there is no snow they will transfere us from pamps to were there is snow. Read on another thread that they bus you out every day if no snow.

I think that bansko is nearest but miles away, how long will it take to travel there every day?

re: Bussed out if no snow

Not a chance my friend - 320kms each way, it would take a bus about 8 hours to go there and back without stopping! Plus you would have thousands of people trying to board them.

It's a case of hands together - eyes closed - and pray for snow!

I thought as much and I can't do the wall!!!! So back to praying for the snow to come for xmas

re: Bussed out if no snow

I am off to Borovets on the 27th and am panicing about no snow. i just rang our travel agents who said they would not & could not transfer us. I was also told they would not take you to any other resort but that there would be alternative activities laid on, whatever that means! i was told there was a cold front heading towards Bulgaria which increases the chance of snow or failing that use of the fake snow cannons. He told me to keep confident but there was no promise of snow.

re: Bussed out if no snow

It is impossible to be transported daily to another resort, and high occupancy in hotels over Xmas and New Year means you cannot be transferred.

You will be able to ski in all 3 resorts, how many Kms will be skiable is another matter though.

Given how cold and wet it is in Sofia right now, its definately snowing 1000metres higher on the top of Borovets.
