Bulgaria Ski discussion board

I understand this year that the main ski school in pamps for the tour operators,have instructed the ski instructors that they must take all clients to the Golden Eagle carvery style resturant on the mountain.
The instructors r not happy about this nor r the tourist, not just r the prices a rip off but the tourists is not getting any variety off resturants.
My advise is if u go to pamps ski school do not eat in the resturant the instructor wants to take you to (golden Eagle) eat elsewere and give a letter of complaint to the tour operator rep and ski school head for your tour op.

We tourist should dictate were we want to eat not ski school management.In previous years the instructors were allowed to take you to a much wider choice.

In fairness to the individual instructors if they dont do what they r told they face the sack,afterall skischool have reduced the number of instructors from 120 to 45

When i went to Pamp, the instucter for the 1st 3 days took us to the same restaurant, as a group we wernt happy with this cos we wanted to eat in a different place each day, on the 4th day we told him and he was more than willing to oblige us. It is after all your holiday and you want to try out different places.

As for the presentation evening, the 1st year i went which was 2003 it was held upstairs in the white hart, the following year it was in the Perelik Hall, it was good, so its not a new thing.

I agree with the above. The experience and enjoyment of skiing in Pamporovo is vastly extended by having a chance to dine in the different lodges on the slopes. My personal favourite is Peter Bar next to the Boheim at the middle station but there are many other really great places such as the Lodge and the Husky Bar. No doubt you too will have your favourite. If I were you I would make it perfectly clear on day 1 that YOU as a group will choose where to eat if thats what you all want to do, and NOT the instructor.

They have absolutely no given right to make this decision and it is exploiting you as tourists to force this upon you.

Make a stand!
