Has anyone got information on the VIP gondola pass that the Kempinski is supposed to be offering.Do you have to pay for it & does it work?
re: VIP gondola pass!
anyone can buy it - you get to jump the queue at the gondola. I also heard that season ticket holders can jump the queue but I've never tried itre: VIP gondola pass!
As far as I know, you don't have to pay for it if you're staying at the Kempinski

Having just enjoyed the Kempinski vip lift pass, I can confirm that you have to be a guest of the hotel and either buy your lift pass as part of your holiday package at time of booking or pay extra for it at the hotel reception in the kempinksi, don't go and buy it at the Gondola station as it must have your name and the 'Kempinksi' hotel written on the pass. It works a treat. We bought our lift pass through 'First Choice/Thompson/Chrystal on the buy one get one free deal but beware not all ...

It makes staying at the Kempinski even more of a dream holiday.

Thanks guys, we're booked into the Kempinski with Bulkan, so it sounds like we should get the VIP pass.Have been to Bansko for the last 6 years, and decided to have the 'Kempinski experience' this time. Had 'afternoon tea' there last year, £14.00 a head, tea and cake was rubbish, but hey ho, it's not the food it's the doing it that counts (yes I know I'm sad!). Great snow just now, hope it lasts till we get there.
re: VIP gondola pass!
Yes, Bulkan definitely do the vip pass if you already booked it. Enjoy your stay, it's worth every penny and the cake at breakfast is very nice.

i will challnege anyone who pushes in VIP pass or not and then get revenge on the slope ....see if you get VIP treatment of the mountain
re: VIP gondola pass!
Where were you last week Snowlover? if those of us choose to pay more money for our accommodation then why not take advantage of the vip pass offer, everybody has the opportunity to stay at the Kempinski at a cost and benefit from the perks that come with the higher cost.I would still rather take a taxi than stand wasting one to two hours in the gondola queue.
re: VIP gondola pass!
hey i drive every time , i was pulling you leg , and i pay more for my accomdation as i have invested heavily in Bansko , but as a business man and avid Bansko believer we cant buy them ......odd wouldnt you think since we support the town in man y ways , not just paying the higher price the Kempinski demnds hummmmmm so think on , im watching you
