Gondola in Borovets

Hi ,

Can anyone tell me what happens when the gondola is closed due to the wind ?

Are there other lifts still working, other ways up the mountain, or does it mean goodnight vienna for all skiing ?

Cheers

YETI

the gondola leads up to one side of the mountain and the chair lifts lead up to the other so if the gondola closes ucan still ski

re: Gondola in Borovets

If the gondola is closed everyone uses the chair lift which runs to a different part of the mountain. This tends to make the runs on this side very crowded and can mean longer queues for the lifts. Also some of the better red runs are from the gondola side, so can get a little boring if the gondola is closed. When we were there last year in March the gondola was closed 3 days out of 6, but we still enjoyed the skiing and are going back this year.

Cheers Y'all !!

Yeah Disk, I admit i asked this before, but then I couldn't find the thread, and cos I was Working, - yes really - I didn't have much time to fiddle about.

But many thanks, you've put my mind at ease

See you there on the 3rd xxx

ha ha I didn't realise it was you that asked the question!

No problems, work can be so incovenient sometimes. I'm there next week as well (Hotel Mura) and many of the weather forecasts suggest there will be less wind (at the start of the week at least) so fingers crossed.

if its your first time to Boro can I suggest you Print off the piste-map from this site to about A5 size. Get it laminated and take it with you for reference while you're on the slopes. Its much better than any ...

If the gondola is shut ask if the Yastabeets 4 man is open. If it is it only costs 10lev for 4 people in a taxi to get there about 5 minutes travel and is well worth the effort
