Hello all, please help me before we book!

Flights and B&B accomodation - £265 staying at Hotel Tanne
Lift pass 6 days - £99
Snowboard and boots hire - Approx £80

total cost - £450 plus spends of around £100 for beer and the odd evening meal? Is is actually around 50p a pint? What about spirits?

Also, we only want to do half day (afternoon) snowboaring, would it be cheaper to buy on resort for the half days everyday? I can't see ...

Also, we only want to do half day (afternoon) snowboaring, would it be cheaper to buy on resort for the half days everyday? I can't see half price options on crystal's website.

Thanks

re: Is this a good price? (Bankso)

tanne is a lovely hotel..your lift pass price is fantastic as to buy a 6 day pass at the gondola office would cost around 159 euro(£138 roughly)

snowboard hire checkout snowbrainer online to see if get a decent price

beer doubt if you will get a pint for 50p....you can in summer.....although i do think the irish pub will probably have happy hour....but i will need to check

you will get a beer for just over a quid...steve c is the man to ask...sure he will answer this

Hi,

Irish again seems to be the cheapest bar in town. Friendly have said there prices will stay as last year and so these 2 places will be the cheapest.
Most places are 4lv plus. The new bar Pirin 75 opposite lion going down Pirin Street seemed that this was going to be the plce to go at 2Lv a beer. They have now put their prices up and seems 5Lv a beer now!!!!!!
Stupid really but they are in a good position to get customers.

The hotel tanne is really nice, but when we stayed their the leisure facilities were hardly ever switched on eg sauna and hot tub, if you asked they would put them on but took an age to heat up. The transfer bus didnt start running until 9 am and they only ran a couple. Personally we like to get up to the gondlas by 8.30 to avoid ques. I have seen some really good offers on the lion and perun, on thomson ski and teletext holidays on line, I would personally prefer to stay at the perun, the ...

I have seen some really good offers on the lion and perun, on thomson ski and teletext holidays on line, I would personally prefer to stay at the perun, the atmosphere in the lounge area is really good and drinks are very reasonablly priced. would find the lift pass and ski hire if booked through the tour op is the same.

re: Is this a good price? (Bankso)

By that Sam, do you mean we could just get half day lift passes everyday from our hotel an that would work out less than £100 that we would pay for full 6 day passes? We only want afternoon passes.

Thanks Karen, looking into it now, just workin out lift pass situation.

As for the beer guys, I'm more into cider and spirits, what's the damage on them? Is it also true you can get say burger n chips for about £3?

Thanks again

You will get Greek Gyros for 4lv (less than £2.00), slab of pizza for the same or less... from takeaways...
Bars/restaurants will charge around 8lv (under £4.00) dependant on where you go (avoid Happy End) for a basic tourist meal, burger and chips Mad
Why not try a traditional Sudzuc, a Banski sausage, full of flavour and goodness, with a side of kartofee e sirinee (chips with white cheese) and a shopska salad Very Happy
Much better for you...
Cider is imported and expensive, imported spirits ...

Cider is imported and expensive, imported spirits are expensive as well... Stick to local beers, and local spirits, the BG vodka is pretty good, and the tequila Very Happy and the rum come to that Wink and not even got to the rakia yet...
