Top of the mountain

My wife wants to know if she goes to the top of the mountain on the Gondola to have a look at the views does she have to Ski down or can she come back down in the Gondola (never skied before)

Actually I want to know as well but didn't want to appear a coward.

Cheers

Shes not alone Gary. Many people go to the top and then lose it when they are there. She will be able to get a return trip without any problems whatsoever.

Just got back from Borovets.

Yes you can use the Gondola for sight seeing only but you do need the lift pass of course. If you are a beginner then there are nursery slopes up there as well as the red runs. There's even a taxi ( Skidoo ) from the cafes back up to the Gondola station.

re: Top of the mountain

and those skiddos charge 5 lev per person but after a full days skiing £2 is a fair price to pay to avoid that climb. The wife did her knee in day 2 and went up the gondola for a look and came down ok. The runs down from the gondola are for intermediates and above so plenty of people coming down on the gondola
