Location: where is Festa Winter Palace

· less than 1 minute's walk from the nearest lift and ski school meeting point · 1 minute's walk to the resort centre

Overview: hotel description: Festa Winter Palace description

There’s no missing the Festa Winter Palace, with its sweeping driveway, columns and balconies all adding a dash of fairytale-style to the building. And the theme continues when you step inside, from the frescoed ceiling in the dining room to the antique-esque furniture dotted here and there.

Location-wise, you can be out and on a lift up the mountain in less than a minute. And if you’re a first-timer, the ski school meeting point is a matter of metres away too.

Back at the hotel, Mozart Patisserie is on hand with hot chocs and cakes, so find a spot by the fire and tuck in. Then swing by the spa for some off-slope R&R in the saunas and saltwater indoor pool. Or head to the bar and swap ski stories over a round of drinks instead.

Hungry? Evening meals are served buffet-style, so everyone’s free to fill up on what they fancy. And with lots of international favourites on the menu each night, you should find something to tempt your tastebuds.

You'll be welcomed with open arms ...
Young skiers will love Borokids Park, where the magic carpet helps them get to grips with the snow. Ski lessons can be booked with one of the local ski schools like Hunters and Yanakiev and the Sitnyakovo Royal Residence Ski Way’s wide, gentle slope for some cruisey confidence building. Each of the 3 ski areas offers intermediates something a little different. The Yastrebetz is home to long winding slopes, including the lengthy Yastrebetz 1, which snakes its way through pine trees back to the resort. Ventu...
