Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Deux Alpes is pretty much an all local resort so the prices are reasonable - we would eat at the foot of the mountain for 12 euro plat du jour of restaurant standard food on a very pleasant deck. Its about the same throughout the mountain. Beer's a bit of a shocker at 6 euro but the local wine is OK.

The season ticket's a steal but as its only immediate locals and seasonnaires who buy them they can make them super cheap - off hand it worked out worth getting if you were skiing 3 weeks or more there. This is how it should be in Bansko. I don't know whether Deux Alpes is privately run or owned by the municipality, which would make a huge difference to pricing policy.

Except what your saying Mikey, the lift pass here is a bit of a shocker considering the area... They have made very slight improvements over previous seasons now including mountain insurance and only increasing the pass by 3lv (6 day)... biggest improvement is the season pass, 740lv... which when you consider is only 15 days skiing if you were buying daily...
Sadly my experience of BG business sense is to put prices up when profits start falling, Ulen is a bank at the end of the day, lets hope they have a bit more savvy, lift prices to be announced, will be interesting to see any changes...
The `killer' season pass rates perhaps do not cover all French resorts, if memory serves an `all area' pass in Espace Killy related to around three and a half weeks normal pass cost fortunately my company paid for mine, but i remember it being around £600.00, and that was quite a few years ago. It may be now that they are offering better discounts, especially as their visitor numbers are falling dramatically like most areas in the Alps.
