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 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.
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.
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.
Thanx 4 all your replies. We are all realing looking forward to our week away. Can't wait to try out this skiing thing as I am a 43 year old youngster!!!
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
