Hi AllI'm thinking of staying in the Grand Monastery in January (not booked yet)
I've only ever stayed in the center of Pamps before, can anyone advise what the facilities are like in and around the Monestery?
In addition, I know it says ski in/out but from what I remembver the hotel is in a big dip, is there a lift up to the middle station?

Hi Bambi, I have emailed you. Andie
re: Grand Monastery
Facilities are great - restaurant, spa, pool, bowling, shop. There are a few other restaurants/bars around there, Monastery 1, Spider Bar, to name a few.
There is no lift upto the mid station. You basically take your skis off and walk across the car park, so you can't actually ski to the front door, but your talking 25 metres.
If you want to go into the town every night, I wouldn't stay there cos it costs 10lev each way in a taxi. But, if you want on-piste location with some nice quiet ...

If you decide to stay here, get your skis from one of the retailers at the mid station, then you don't have to ski down to the bottom every afternoon to drop your skis off and then lift back up. (This was a right pain for us!)

re: Grand Monastery
Thanks for all the replies, we skipped last years skiing to do other things and fancied ski in and out this year so will delve deeper before booking, I hear there are a lot more snow cannons this year are they all going to be working ( given the right weather conditions )Bambi
