bansko lift pass and taxi

I'm going to Bansko early April with 4 others and we're arranging the whole holiday ourselves. We've booked the apartment and the flights, so we just need lift passes and transfer from Sofia Airport.

Has anyone else done this?
Recommend any good transfer/taxi companies? (we will need a minibus)
Know anywhere you can pre-book/buy the lift passes?

Your help will be most appreciated

Hi, from what ive been told by many others is you get the passes when your there at the gondola station, as for transfers try this guy, He is called steve and his emal is [email protected] , try him hes been really good and easy to use and you can pay when he meets you at the airport. Other than that try this website, banskoexpress.com its a coach service for travellers to the ski destinations you an 50 other people basically, im off on the 9th of march so itl hopefully be good!!

We used the bansko express and it was good (and cheap) but book early as they do get booked us.

We booked our ski packs through http://www.bulgaria-hotels.com/en/bansko_skipackages.html and had great service

Life passes at the gondola are 283 Lev for 6 days

I've found that pre-booking the lift passes is a lot cheaper. Anyone know of any other websites?

re: bansko lift pass and taxi

i think your prices are wrong for the lift pass as in april it is only 40 leva a day ?

re: bansko lift pass and taxi

iv heard good things about 'axeman' transfers

re: bansko lift pass and taxi

I have heard lots of negative stories about the snow in April???

re: bansko lift pass and taxi

mmmm, it could go either way, the season does seem to be a bit late this year, maybe all the snow will be in april !! otherwise i'l be on my bike

re: bansko lift pass and taxi

Yes, I've heard that ski passes are cheaper in April too, just haven't found a website that reflects it. I'm suprised that Yulen (or whoever runs the slopes) hasn't got a website pre-selling the passes.

If anyone comes back from Bansko and bought their lift pass out there, could you please post the prices?
