It was a great experience and the hills are gorgeous. I got a chance to go with my wife and we both loved it so much. I would definitely go again!

Great resort for beginners and intermediate skiers or boarders. With addition of Mechi Chal on your ski pass, this is the largest of the ski resorts in Bulgaria, as Bansko overclaims it's kms quite a lot by repeat counting the ski road and counting a lift and piste that are never opened due to avalanche danger.
Queues can get a little busy at weekends but, on the whole the lift systems are very good.

Brilliant for beginners and families. 3 star is very basic... If I were to go again I'd recommend 4 star minimum.
