The Pirin/Rhodope Mountains region

Skiing information: There are 14 pistes totalling 65km, including an uninterrupted 16 km run starting from Todorka Peak at the highest point of the ski centre, all the way to base station of the Gondola plus cross country and excellent off piste skiing. A multi-million Euro project has recently seen the installation of new lifts, including an eight-person gondola and snow cannons to ensure good conditions. The Ski and Snowboard School offers good tuition, including children who are cared for at the Junior Ski Club. In addition to on-piste skiing, skiers and snowboarders can enjoy a fun park which offers fans of extreme winter sports the option to ski over artificial bumps and jumps as well as to build their own. Also, the half-pipe located near Bansko’s famous snow towers, offers both skiers and snowboarders an arena to show off their latest tricks. The ski season is one of the longest; roughly mid December until the end of April.

The Pirin National Park encompasses rugged alpine peaks that rise above 8,202ft (2,500m). The magnificent landscape is made up of old forests, waterfalls, caves and areas of limestone that are home to the endangered edelweiss and the Pirin poppy. Characteristic to the park is the abundance of rare and endemic species of plants and animals, and the unique environment is listed as a UNESCO World Cultural and National Heritage site. Holy Trinity Church with its fine belfry and clock tower is famous for its collection of icons and murals painted by local Bansko artists who once made the Bansko School of Painting one of the best in Bulgaria.

The Bansko / Top Lodge area

Although Bansko is better known as a winter sports centre, when the snow melts the area is transformed into an area of outstanding natural beauty, making the Pirin mountain range one of the most popular areas in Europe for hiking. There are well-marked long hiking trails serviced by hikers’ chalets, as well as opportunities for climbing, mountain biking, horse riding, fishing and bird watching. There are local companies organising extreme activities for the more adventurous and golf courses are under construction in the local area. The Pirin National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site, having over 60 glacial lakes, waterfalls, caves and many rare and endemic species.

Other activities available in the town include ice skating and bowling. The nightlife is equally varied, with many picturesque mehanas serving traditional local food and wine, often with live folk music, or more contemporary clubs, bars and casinos. Each August, the week-long International jazz festival is increasingly popular.

The nearby village of Dobrinishte, located only 5 km from the town, is a must visit. The healing effects of the thermal springs in these mountains have been famous since antiquity and a brand new spa centre with outdoor thermal pools has recently ben opened here. In summer, the ski lift remains open, taking hikers up to 2500 metres, from where there are beautiful waymarked walks. In Bansko itself, you can take a minibus up to the Vihren hut, from where many similar walks begin, or you can climb to the highest peak in the Pirin range.
