Hi Jax,

I guess, from looking at historical snowe reports, that end of Jan seems like good a bet as any. Bankso also has a better snow record than most I believe!?! No idea about the hotels though, only been to Pamp...

excellent - i suppose i could have done the historical search thingy - but trying to price the holiday, choose the hotel and the time of year, along with attempting to look busy at my job is driving me insane, and i dont have a pc at home!

many thanks

Yep - go for end Jan / early Feb. Don't wait until after half term week as pistes have been well used by then and it's also starting to warm up.

Do it on-line via this website if you can

And Herts isn't so confusing - cos that's where I am

whereabouts in herts?

we went to borovets this year very early on in jan - we had some lovely snow - although alot of the pistes were icy. i think we will aim mid to late jan. prices are relatively good for then. any clues on hotels tho?

re: confused of hertfordshire

You are making the right choice!

I stayed in the Strazhite last year and have booked to go again this year. Rooms are small but very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Pool and sauna are fab after a hard days skiing! There will be newer and probably better hotels there this year as there is a lot of building work going on but I think the Strazhite is great for the money. The breakfasts are really good, evening meals not so good but you know what to expect anywhere in Bulgaria and there ...

The breakfasts are really good, evening meals not so good but you know what to expect anywhere in Bulgaria and there is a great Mexhana accross the road.

There is a bowling alley in the hotel as well which will be great for the teenagers. And it is easy walking distance to the slopes (they do put a bus on though as well).

All in all a great choice. We certainly would not be going back if we didn't enjoy it (or be taking 20 of our friends!)

Hi Jax,

I have no idea about the building work and when it will be finished, although they are advertising the new hotel being built near to the Strazhite for next year, hopefully that will be finished by then!

Apart from that, the Strazhite was completely refurbished in 2003 so has new windows which are very thick! You are unlikely to hear any building work going on if that is what you are worried about!

Book it - you will have a wonderful time!

Also on the snow issue - we went ...

Also on the snow issue - we went last week of Jan and had loads. We are going back the same week this year.
