ski hire

Hi,
I'm going to Borovets Saterday 19th febr. with my 11 year old son.
We haven't prebooked our ski's and wonder if anybody can recommend a good and reasonable ski hire place. We are not booking lessons only need the ski's and boots.
Thanks Conny

re: ski hire

book through bulgaria ski? or whoever your tour operator is-seemingly much cheaper to pre book

re: ski hire

It's to late for that since the tour operator charges £25 pound administration cost for additional bookings!

re: ski hire

Who are you travelling with? If its Thomsons you can still book a package. I am going on Sat 19th as well with my 15 year old son

re: ski hire

I booked with Balkan Holidays through lastminute.com, don't know hotel yet but got a cheap deal, we can't wait to get there!

re: ski hire

Try Albena Ski School. They are just off the main street opposite the ice rink.

Do you need a pass as well for the lifts?

Val can arrange what you need - ring him before you leave just to check on 00359 4877 6277 he is very helpful. Remember to speak slowly and that there is a 2 hour time difference.

Hope this helps

Thank you Ellie, that is helpful and yes we will need a skipass as well. In previous experiences it was always cheaper to get equipment and passes locally, but I am now getting a bit scared with people saying it will cost me 3x as much!

re: ski hire

You really do need to ring and arrange first and you are then deemed to be pre booking.

Good Luck

Thanks Ellie, I spoke to Val this afternoon, the line was very bad but I will meet him Sunday AM at the Albina skischool.
Thanks very much for your help, Conny
