Hi,
there are no SEASONAL CARDS at Gondolla ticket window. Only 20 and 40 days.
Where can I buy those?
Thanks!
Maryna
Hi Maryna,
This year you can only buy 40 or 20 day season cards — These days do not have to be consecutive. Buy them at the gondola cash desk. Thank you for reading Bansko Blog and commenting
Hi Lance
I’m coming out with my family this Sunday (22nd) for one week. We are staying at the Kempinski and have heard they have a VIP pass. It’s all getting a little confusing **!!**. They STILL haven’t got back to me with the price of this pass but I understand that it is MORE expensive than the normal lift pass BUT it does allow us to ‘queue jump’ the gondola. Please can you tell me if it’s worth getting this VIP pass at this time of year? We will only be out there over the Christmas period and not the New Year break.
Thanks
Caroiine
Hi Caroline, I have just come back down from the mountain. It is millionaires skiing — very quiet. Fantastic. People are confusing no snow on trees with no snow on pistes. So it’s wonderfully sunny. There will be more pepole arriving tomorrow, but I’m not sure if it’s worth paying the premium as there was no queue at all today — a Sunday!
Hi Caroline, I think Christmas will be not so busy, so probably not worth paying the extra. But it’s a personal choice. Maybe wait and see is the best strategy.
Why is it not possible to by a season card?We have been in Bansko many seasons now,and 40 days is not an option,as we use it almost everyday in the 90 day period we are here…Is it really not possible to buy a season card?If so,we have to find another destination,damn!Do you think it will change??Thanks,K
Hi Kent, No they just have this card… I’m not happy too as I pay for my season pass just like everyone else. Will decision change? I do not know. Unlikely, but possible.
hi lance how much is a 40 day season card
1,500 leva — (the most expensive season pass in the world?)
Today I went to buy a ticket at the gondola cash and I must say that I have never had such an unpleasant experience. The lady who is selling the passes was so rude, even started yelling at me for asking for the prices …. It is not enough to have the equipment to run a ski center ! It needs proper personnel selection and management… I am so disappointed.
CAN I PAY IN EURO? HOW MUCH IS A SKIPASS FOR 6 DAYS?
Yes you can pay in euro prices are on the prices page
Hello,do you know if it will be season pass this year(2014/2015) again?Thanks!Kent
Please let me know season pass prices for 14/15?
Reg Kent
Hi Kent, We do not know yet. I suspect 1,500 leva and the use of the pass for forty days. Same as last season is my best guess.
How much is 1 day ski pass for the opening day (13th of december)?
Hi Marina, We do not know yet — last year it was discounted so expect something around 35 leva for the day.
