The Pirin/Rhodope Mountains region

Bansko is a mountain resort in Bulgaria with a short hot summer, long mild winter and temperate spring and autumn. The skiing season starts in the middle of December and ends in mid-April.

The resort is an ideal base for both winter and summer visitors. It is the newest of the Bulgarian ski resorts and combines the qualities of an old Bulgarian town and a new ski resort, boasting many historic monuments and traditional museums. This region is also famous for its cuisine and folklore.

Over the last seven years, 200 million euros has been invested in Bansko, nearly 40 million euros in the ski facilities alone. This is reflected in the number and quality of ski lifts including an 8-man Doppelmayer Gondola cable car, five 4-seat lifts of the latest Doppelmayer models, one 3-seat lift by Poma, 6 drags and 10 baby drags. The easy access to all lifts is secured by chip-cards from SkiData.

There are 65 kilometers of marked ski runs and ski tracks, with more planned, which are regularly maintained by 12 Kassbohrer snow grooming machines. Excellent quality, crisp white snow is guaranteed from December until May by 40 TechnoAlpin snow cannons. The average temperature during January, the coldest month, is - 1.9°C and snow falls are generally abundant, providing a constant winter snow cover up to 2 metres thick.

In the summer visitors can enjoy walking, mountain biking, riding and white water rafting in the beauty of Pirin National park. An Ian Woosnam golf course is currently under construction 3km outside Bansko.

Bansko area

Bansko has the best state-of-the-art winter sport facilities in Bulgaria. It has an exclusive 16-kilometre uninterrupted ski run that starts from Todorka Peak at 2600 metres and ends at the newly built Gondola cable car on the outskirts of Bansko. The ski runs are equipped with artificial snow machines to guarantee perfect skiing conditions at all times.

In total, there are 17 pistes in Bansko, five 4-seat lifts, one 3-seat lift, 6 drags and 10 baby drags and a new gondola cable car is planned, ensuring that skiers from beginners to experts can enjoy the runs. The total length of marked ski runs is 65 km, allowing for up to 10,000 skiers a day. Ski passes are fitted with micro-chips which can be read even through clothing and rescue services include a short-code mobile number for skiers in trouble.

Skiers can also experience off-piste skiing or try out the biathlon, a mix of shooting and skiing popular with Bulgarians. Local tour operators also offer guided cross-country skiing and snowshoeing across the pine-clad lower slopes. In summer, climbers and hikers can use a network of alpine huts and many of the trails and roads that serve the ski resort are great for mountain biking.

A combination of the ski facilities and the attractions of Pirin national park make this a must visit resort.

Slopes: 930m to 2560m

Guestbook for Fantastic 2 Bedroom Ski Chalet

One word - awesome!

We arrived with no snow and overnight we had about a metre of snow. It continued to snow for a couple of days after that so conditions we absolutely perfect.

The apartment we loved. Close to everything we needed and very warm and comfortable. We had the fire going one night but it was too hot! Balkan PMS were very good to deal with also. We thought the place was excellent and hope we are able to come again next year!

You've been excellent to deal with also so thanks for all your communication and advice.
