sorry if that sounded a bit harsh no harm intended.
i think its just the way the bulgarians are father in law as consulted in varna in the mining industry for the last 4 year so we go out fairly regular.
you can tell them how to do something 1 day to make things easier and if they dont like it then they dont entertain it. (not tarring them all with same brush).
i do take your point, a little bit of order at the gondola would make this resort a lot better.
but hey im usually up before the sun so im usually knocking on the station door!!! |

no offence taken as we didn't even take breakfast and walked the length of the town to get up there before 8. It still took over an hour. I am always up early anyway.
The one day we went later i waited on the bus that never left. we were first in the bus queue thinking that the half hour wait on the bus would be better than the crush in the gondola building.
I think i would rather spend the extra couple of hundred going somewhere organised. |

| i was up early every day, our hotel ran a free shuttle bus at 8.30, when the gondola started at 8.30, this didn't really make sense, so getting up and hoofing it every day was the only way to get there early doors. people can only report on their own experiences, some love it and some hate it and you can say the same about any resort, my experience of Bansko was a bad one; hope never to have to experience queues / disorganisation like that of any other resort! but last week soured the bulgarian experience for me completely! |

WFM you are doing an epic job on replies! nice work!
To give a bit of info on Slovakia as well, all the brit chalets over here will drive you right to the lifts and back, ride with you on the mountain every day and show you around the night spots (aqua parks, thermal spas, go karting, bowling etc)......... its just as cheap as bulgaria with our local being 58p a pint at the moment.
for any lifts, at the very busiest time, you probably will have to wait no more than 15 minutes, next season the new lift which connects the north and south side of chopok opens which will only stop in winds of 120km/h making the whole area endlessly accessible........
As cheap as bulgaria? no question, just a totally different vibe and a resort that is still a treelined retreat and not apartment blocks. |

Propaganda - we have already started to consider Jasna etc. as we hear Slovakia, as you say, has a different vibe. We've heard great things about the service etc. at ChaletSlovakia so defo on for the future as if we decide not to go for 2 weeks in one resort, we'll try to fit in 2 one after the other, so Slovakia is absolutely on the radar  |
