HI Clare, I am sending you an email on this question. But yes everyone staying for 6 days and skiing every day will make meaningful savings by pre paying lift passes. Thanks for the question.

Hi Lance,
Been to Bansko many times, three of us have apartments at the brilliant Bojurland!. However we are bringing friends with us this time and will need aprox. 25 lift passes. Is it really worth my while trying to buy them in advance do you think?
Cheers for any advice.

Hi Lance
Just signed up today, it looks like a great site. Me & my wife are booking for the 22nd January 2012, staying at the Hotel Mura.
Do you have any information, exact distance to the gondola etc..?
Many thanks
Mike

Hi Alan, New Year's Eve is fabulous in Bansko,. For eating out everyone has their favourite. So I will be doing my top 5 places for New Years dinner post in mid November. There are several new restaurants opening up and I expect a few promotions to be coming on line soon for these.

In the meantime, please can reader nominate their favourite Bansko / Razlong / Banya / Dobrinishte restaurant?

I will check with the Kempinski, and get back to you, but suspect this will be reserved for residents only. Thank for commenting

Hi Lance

myself and 3 others (2 couples) are coming out to bansko 28 December to 4th Jan. We did come out for the first time this year in April lol Not the best of idea as we were hoping to ski. We did however get a couple of days ski as they opened the Black slope for a few days.

The Town was empty and if im honest we couldnt have picked a worse time but we did get an idea of the place and I can imagine in season its a fantastic place.

Can you give us some ideas of restaurants to eat for new years day? We would like to eat in the kempinski but do you know whether thats possible if we are not residents and how much is the New years dinner there if we can eat there?

Thanks Bud

Hi Tanya,

Thank you for stopping by. Spain is great for skiing of course, but Bansko and Bulgaria offer more than the sum of the parts. Please do subscribe for price list for private transfers and ski hire. There are a number of advertisers who have property for rent close to the lifts so take a look in the homes to rent section or drop me an email.

Hi Mia,

Thank you for subscribing to the newsletter and delighted you are coming to Bansko.

It is a little early to say exactly what Salomon boots will be in the shops. But for sure there are many models to choose from. If you have tried on the boots elsewhere and they fit, then I would normally recommend you buy them in your country and bring them with you to Bansko.
