Trabsfer Time from Skofia to Bansko

Hi

Me, bf and our 3 primary school children are off to Bansko Kempinski Grand for one week on 15th March. Never skied before in our lives - can't wait Very Happy Definately going with an open mind and my eyes open!!

Just wondering what the transfer time is from the airport to the hotel. Will I need to bring snacks for the kids for the journey, that sort of thing.

Any advice would be appreciated.

3 hours on a bus, so yep bring travel snacks for kids. Bus should stop for pee/refreshment stop. You will love kempinski and love the mountain, old town has a certain rustic charm but don't be too disappointed with it all looking like a building site, from your hotel to mountain is all fab.

Soory I thought it was longer, 2 hours sounds much better. Very Happy

Joe - you're not necessarly wrong - but it shouldn't take much more than 2 hours with clear roads and a decent bus, however neither of these can be guaranteed. Wink

jo

you will love it, I would say on a coach it is around 3 hours took us 2.5 in a taxi, they do stop for a break, plus it will be late when you get there, the kids will possibly sleep most of the journey if your liucky.

Layers, rucksack, shed full of mars bars, maybe carry spare gloves for when the first pair of the day get wet, until I bought a Gore-tex pair, it was luxury to take a fresh dry pair out of a plastic bag put the soggy ones away Confused
