In Borovets you can get a lift pass holder on a retractable cord, allowing you to pull out your pass, pop it into the machine, then just let go and it stores it. Means you don't have to keep fumbling in your pocket all the time!!

You don't really need a retractable pass holder as the turnstiles at the lifts are such that people put their pass in their sleeve pocket of their jacket or side pocket and brush it over the sensor that will activate the turnstile. The benefit of this is that you won't risk losing your pass as it will always be securely zipped away in your pocket. It is also a major benefit as you don't need to fumblearound trying to find your pass and handle it will gloved hands. Basically, it's more ...

You do need a lift pass holder on elastic in Borovets, the passess all have to be inserted into a reader for the turnstiles to open. Thats how it has been for the last 3 times, doubt it's changed.

You see, I have always said that Bansko is the best Bulgarian ski resort by a long way and this goes further to prove it! Very Happy

re: lift pass holder

Ditto the above! Had to insert the pass for the gate to open. Everyone had them, cost about 5 lev from the ski hire place by the Gondola.
