SKIING
The Great Skiing & Snowboarding Guide describes Bansko as: "The best-developed ski resort in Eastern Europe, an attractive old town with a modern lift system and hotels of international standard".
With one of the highest peaks in the Balkans, at 2746m above sea level, the ski season runs from mid-December to April. There are now over 70 km of runs divided between 14 pistes, and a total vertical drop of over 1.5Km from the top slopes down to the town. Bansko has invested massive amounts of money into its facilities, and the resort now has state of the art equipment including:
* A fast, 8 person gondola lift to take people up on to the mountain
* A variety of 3 and 4 seat high speed lifts (some with protective domes)
* 8 Beginners slopes (Blue)
* 11 Intermediate slopes (Red)
* 1 Advanced slope (Black)
* Electronic pass system
* 10 mountain restaurants
* Night skiing
* 160 snow cannons
* Excellent ski school with English speaking instructors
At the end of a day's skiing, you can finish with a long gentle ski down the floodlit road which runs from the top of the ski lift all the way back down the mountain.
APRES-SKI
There are rumoured to be over 150 taverns ("Mehanas") in Bansko, offering local and international food and drink, and a variety of entertainment including live musicians and singers. A meal with wine or beer typically costs from £8 per head.
There are some nightclubs, a bowling alley, and a skating rink.
