You can walk here from the apartment. Very steep in parts but a nice walk in the mountain.

Accessible by car only before 0900 and after 1600. If not you have to park about a mile further down the mountain. You can cycle up to it all day though and I recommend trying it. Stunning views.

Ski child care

Ulen have a creche opposite the top gondola station. You can pay in advance or on the day. They take kids up to 7 years old from 0900 - 1600. They give them lunch and take them out for a basic ski lesson (ulen provide equipment). I recall it is 60leva per child, per day as of 2019.
