The trick is to buy your lift pass, ski/board hire before you actually get to Bansko as it will save you sooo much time on your first day.

Get to the Gondola as soon as it opens (around 8:30am) to ensure that you miss the queues and get freshtracks! Very Happy

Happy sliding. Razz

re: mornings in Bansko

ok thanks anyways. I think the best way is to split our group so one goes and buys the tickets and others wait on the gondolaline. Does that make any sence or do I get beat up when I come to my friends with the tickets and people behind me thinks that im budging in the line?

Matti, You should find that you need to have your picture taken at the ticket office. That means that you AND you friends will all need to be there. I would suggest getting to the station between 8.00 and 8.30 and you should be ok. If you arrive in Bankso early enough the previous day, you can maybe buy the passes then?

We will be arriving at 3 pm at Sofia. Do we get in time to purchase the tickets on the day before? What time do they close the ticket sale? Does anybody have a clue does the skibuss from Bell Tower / Orphey Hotel next door cost something and how long does it take from the hotel to the gondola. Many guestions... I would apreciate if some of them ansvered.
