Known for its serene environment and stunning natural beauty, the resort provides a great opportunity for visitors to recharge and enjoy both winter and summer seasons. It's a preferred destination for practicing winter sports, particularly skiing, and is considered one of the best places to ski in Bulgaria after the big resorts.

Guests appreciate the uncrowded slopes and the convenience of the cabin-only elevator.

It even features an elevator that goes directly from the hotel rooms to the ski lift, a feature that guests find remarkable.

The lift at the resort carries guests to the top of the Rila mountain, a sight that offers a stunning view. It's a highly recommended destination for experienced skiers and snowboarders. However, it's worth noting that the resort may not be ideal for newcomers due to the old lift equipment on the learners' slope.

The resort's hotel is unique and provides a decent lodging option. However, some guests have expressed concerns about the absence of a desk for room reservations and card payments. As the resort is undergoing renovations, improvements are expected.

The resort's restaurant is a point of contention, with some guests loving the food and others expressing concerns about the loud music played late into the night. There have also been reports of unprofessional behavior from some staff members. Despite these issues, the resort remains a popular destination for skiing enthusiasts, with many guests looking forward to returning.
