everytime i come on this people are complaning about prices???why when its stil so much cheaper than back home????
re: prices
Its because its 3 times more expensive than in the towns. People want everything for nothing and have to remember their season is VERY short.To compare a hot chocolate and rum is about what £1.50 there ..... in France you pay something like £12.00 at the moment!!!! Just because it isnt 50p then why do people complain I agree!
re: prices
Probably because it was ridiculously cheap in the past and this reputation has lingered. First went in 1989/90 and it was so cheap it was embarrassing
re: prices
thank god somebody agrees with mere: prices
I was in the Alps last year and did not find anywhere that was selling hot chocolate and rum or anything else for that matter for £12 but then again I guess I wasnt looking that hard.Note to self. If anybody tries to charge you £12 for a soft drink run.... run like the wind
re: prices
Its more this year. I was on the slopes in Val D'sere ..... at the time 3 hot chocolates alone were £12. A friend of mine went to France last year and paid even more! Since then the pound has plumbeted so I hate to think what its like now. Food I would spend maybe £40 a day on.Mind you if you class Rum as a soft drink then I would dread going on a session with you
My point is I would spend more in a couple of days in France than a week in Bulgaria and do alot more.
re: prices
I know, by midweek i've normally had so much I'm not good for much else other than more I agree 100% Bulgaria is still a much cheaper holiday in every respect

If it's 3 lev for a hot chocolate and brandy, 3 lev for a mastika and 8-10 lev for a simple meal like kavarma then all will be ok. Reports are coming back, however, that this is not the case.
Many of those I know don't pay European prices they just ski and bring a hip flask. The attraction of Bulgaria that drinks were significantly cheaper than the UK yet made a x10-20 profit for the Bulgarians that's why people went there. If you want to ski big areas on fantastic pistes go to France, ...

Bulgaria has a place in the market. It should never be compared with France as its main marketing advantage was low prices and consequentially good, affordable nightlife.

re: prices
I think we all need to consider why we visit Bulgaria for our skiing holidays. I know that when I am telling people of the stories and exploits I have experianced in Borovets, it is never cheap food and drinks that I talk of. It is always the warm hearted locals and the fun of being in a ski resort that is welcoming and still honest about what it is. I travel again on the 24th Jan and hope with all my heart that I do not meet or bump into any of the people who make the effort to in my ...

If you dont like the Bulgarian skiing experiance please go somewhere else next time and stop clogging this site with your boring posts!!!
