Ski Hire & Ski Lift Prices

I'm set or my first ski holiday to Bansko in Feb there's a group of 6 of us going and I've got the lucky job of making arrangements!

I'm wondering if any of you regulars can give me an idea of the Price of a weeks Ski/Snow board hire and lift passes????

Thanks!

re: Ski Hire & Ski Lift Prices

This site offers ski / board hire with lift pass. Just hit the contact us link. Just got the prices from them yesterday Think 6 days ski hire / lift pass is 202 euros. And if you want lessons for beginners it 238 euros. Please check with them first though. Book it all up front and they deliver lift pass to your door when you arrive, and tell you where to get skis etc. (Which is from main Gondola area)

Deleted your posts, who me, Is that possible, if so sorry.
Only ever used this site for pre-booking ski equip.. Always had good service, prices are good, cheaper than Banksoski site, so have not looked around. And that price of 238 euros is the full ski package, with lift pass and 4 hour lesson with Ulen every day....

Not blaming you Bobe, or anyone in fact Razz
This is at the end of the day a commercial site that has to be paid for, and the administrators have a responsibility to their advertisers... thats business Wink
I genuinly didn't know about the pre-booking on here, i and im assuming lots of others do now Razz

If coming to Bansko go to Alpha Bank just off the square any day in the week (Mon - Fri 08.30 - 16.30), take your passport... and you will get the best exchange on Lev, the local currency...
The euro is fixed to the Lev at a rate of 1.955 Lv - E, but you will still pay a small commission in the UK to change £ - E, and then again E - Lev.... Why bother Wink Most places will not accept euro for payment of goods or services (we ...
