How far is it from the slopes? Is it walkable? if so, how long does it take? Ho often does the bus run into the town centre of Borovets?

Hi, I had the following reply from someone, back from Bansko, to similar question I posted earlier:

Brand new hotel, have not stayed there but had a look inside, very plush.

About 600m flat walk to slopes, but don't worry you do not have to walk around in your boots in Bansko, skis/boots can be store at the gondolas stations for about £17 for the week.
