Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

Leading tour operator, Crystal ski has introduced a low priced package deal to Bansko, Bulgaria as part of their Crystal Ski+ deal scheme.

Crystal Ski+ includes not only flights, transfers, and accommodation, like a normal package holiday, but also the cost of your lift pass and equipment hire. The Bansko package deal is particularly special as the price also includes six days of ski or snowboard tuition.

The package price varies depending on whether a three- or four-star hotel is chosen. The deal can be booked on the following dates: Jan. 16, 23, 30 and March 6, 13, 20, 27, 2010.  Flights are available from Gatwick, Manchester, Bristol, and Birmingham.

The hotel choices are either bed and breakfast accommodation at the three-star Hotel Mura for £485 per person, per week, or half-board accommodation at the four-star Hotel Bansko for £549 per person, per week.

At Hotel Mura guests receive complimentary use of the hotel's hot tub, relaxation room, sauna and/or steam bath. The Hotel Bansko also offers free use of its indoor pool, fitness facilities, sauna, and steam bath.

A free shuttle runs between both the hotels and the ski lifts and slopes, a two minute journey away.
