Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi, Stayed in Perelik for last three years, doing the Murgavets for a change next week. The Perelik is the heart of Pamporovo with connecting tunnels to the Murgavets and the Orlovets so if you want a change of bar you don't have to put your boots on. In terms of tips I do not think there is much to say, the ski station bus starts at back of the hotel which is good, rooms are ok if not luxurious, hotel is warm, staff friendly and the club DJ's is frequented by everybody in Pamp's at some time or other. My first skiing experience was at Pamps in 05 and loved it ever since, just wish I could ski better.

Hi Tracey, Perelik is great. 26 of us stayed there in Jan. We had 14 kids with us aged 4 - 17 and there was something to do for all of them which gave us adults a lot of free time. One thing to watch though, had a bit of a problem when checking out as the receptionist tried to make out that we all owed for items from the mini bar which none of us had used (it gets emptied the day before leaving by the maids). The skiing is fantastic and great for beginners - hope you get Stoika as your instructor! We have been to Pamps four times and loved it more and more each year.

Have a great holiday, wish it was us!

Tracey,

Hi, If you have pre ordered the beginners ski pack then all you need is a few Leva (6, I think) as a deposit fo your lift pass. I have found that the exchange desk next to the reception in the Perelik give very competitive rates and so I just take sterling plus the few Leva left over from last year for tips to the hotel bag carriers and a drink. Amount of money depends on how much you drink, do you want to eat out on an evening, do the skidoo ride, etc, as a minimum I would take £250 per person and take it from there, there are ATM's if you need more, as said depends on you Apres Ski needs.
