caution for all new commers to borovets the main 4 man chairlift opposite the rilla is a bit doggey getting of you must pay attention an choose a line as you embark as it turns the corner sharply ive been for the past 4 years and im always worried i wont get of at the right moment all the other lifts ar great

I agree it is a bit fierce, best advice is stand slightly forward of all other users and this takes the sting out of the speed allowing you to sit down a bit more comfortably, just dont tell too many people or you will half way up the slopes tryingt o be the furthest forward

The other 4 man lifts in the resort have only been in for a couple of years that one is a old design that dont slow down in the stations like the new ones do it is a bit tricky getting off it at the top i think that why they have got that steep slope to take you away from people falling off behind you.
