Everyday you will enjoy a lovely gondola ride up and over the wonderful forests (one of the most picturesque gondola rides we have been on). Sit back and relax taking in the scenic ride up to the base of the ski resort (Bunderishka Polyana) where you will find restaurant / bars nursery slopes and chair lifts up the mountain (highest altitude on chair lift is up to 2600m).
