Bulgaria Ski discussion board

As I said - my opinion.

Maybe it has changed since I was there in 1998 but then there were nothing like 110 runs! just motorway skiing. Nightlife was confined to about 3 bars all with nothing going on except one who had the same pub singing one man band every night doing the same routine.

Our instructor spoke NO English and went off every lunchtime to do a 1 hour 1 x 1 with a private punter.

As all holidays they differ, but that is what we experienced and because of that - never again.

Hi Paul I went to Sol Du Tarter last year, which forms part of the larger range that you can ski on and had a cracking time. It was mid March, the bottom runs were a little icy and a couple were closed, but you just hopped on a chair lift that was open, and up to the first section where snow was everywhere. Great red runs, lots and lots of interconnecting runs you could spend 4 hours just getting to the top of the mountain as there are so many runs next to each other across the range.

I am going back to Bansko this year for the 2nd time, but would just as easily go back to Sol Du Tarter as well. It's pretty much the same as Basnko exept larger area to ski.

We're not up for nightlife, so after a hard days ski we would have a few pints in the hotel, and be watching a film in bed by 9pm so can't really comment on the night life.
