Bansko area
Bansko is a charming and historic town with a stunning alpine backdrop. A climatic mountain resort, Bansko is known as an alpine skiing, hiking and climbing centre. It combines it's natural beauty and outdoor opportunities with the atmosphere of an ancient Bulgarian town from the tenth century and boasts a wealth of culture and history.
Bansko is the newest ski destination in Bulgaria and has the best snow record and longest ski season, Mid December to early May. There has been an enormous amount of investment in recent years in order to develop the ski facilities, which give easy access to the 65 kilometres of marked ski runs. Ski lessons and ski hire are much cheaper than other european destinations, which makes it ideal for the first time skier, but has something to offer all levels.
