The Pirin/Rhodope Mountains region
Bansko ski resort is situated in South-Western Bulgaria in the foot hills of the beautiful Pirin mountain - a natural reserve included in the World Natural Heritage list. Bansko provides a superb combination of the virgin nature of the Pirin mountain with state of the art ski lifts and a well planned ski area, whilst still retaining the atmosphere of Bansko’s historic old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which sports cobbled streets, ancient stone houses, cosy ‘mehanas’ and beautiful 12th Century church.
Bansko ski resort is the biggest new winter resorts in the country following a multi-million euros investment in new skiing technology. Bansko has the best snow record and the longest ski season of all Bulgarian ski resorts, with great snow cover from December until May. The slopes offer runs and tracks for all types of skiers suiting both beginners and experts. The total length of the marked pistes is 70 kilometers with 44 Technoalpine snow cannons covering most of the slopes to ensure a full ski season!
Skiing Bansko offers opportunities for skiers, snowboarders, and for the extreme sports, biathlon and cross-country skiing enthusiast. Slalom and Giant slalom runs are available. Some of the pistes offer wonderful conditions for night skiing, which is available for everyone from 18.30 until 21.30 and every day skiers and snowboarders can take part in the competitions on the new piste on Shiligarnika. A bonus for the skier is the 7 kilometers long lighted ski-road between Banderishka polyana and the town. Bansko also offers a cross-country ski track with a total length of 5 km.
Extreme Skiing For extreme skiers Bansko ski zone offers the so called fun - park zone. Whilst snowboard lovers can also enjoy a fun park which offers the option to ski over present artificial bumps and jumps as well as to build those on their own to suit their taste and abilities. And a half -pipe offers both skiers and snowboarders an arena to boast their latest tricks.
Bansko area
Apres Ski With so much to enjoy on the slopes it is important to have accommodation to enjoy at the end of the day. Our apartment is at the base of the mountain, thus no long, weary, tired walk home!
After unwinding in comfort of the apartment it is time for you to explore what the town of Bansko has to offer. There are places catering for all ages and tastes. As our apartment is located in the heart of ski village it is just minutes away from many traditional Bansko taverns (called "Mehana"), which with their exceptional charm and style offer local atmosphere by their cuisine and good selection of Bulgarian wines. Most of the local "Mehanas" also offer live folk music. There are also many local cafes and bars offering refreshments and meals. Discos and night clubs work without time limit, and usually close early in the morning. There is even a casino and bowling alley!!!
Alternative Interests For those who are not full time skiers or those who wish to visit in warmer months there's a lot to see in the town of Bansko, which is very different from the many of the older ski resorts including Borovets or Pamporovo. Bansko combines great skiing, beautiful nature and historical significance. Various souvenir shops offer the creations of the local artists and smiths. With around 120 cultural and historical monuments and a lot to explore, Bansko is known to be unique site of international significance. Of interest is The Holy Trinity church with its 30 m high bell tower and clock, splendid murals and woodcarvings. Remains from ancient fortresses in the Staroto Gradishte site are situated just four km away. Nearby is the Staroto Gradishte site where there are Thracian mound hills. South of Bansko is the National Park Pirin, UNESCO listed for cultural and natural sightseeing. The park is rich with lakes, waterfalls, caves, venerable trees and historical sites. Bansko is also famous for its mineral springs. We also recommend a visit to the famous Rila Monastery and the busy city of Sofia.
Summer (Golf, Jazz and more!) Bansko is not only a great ski resort, but in the summer it is the host of the traditional Summer Jazz Festival, Bulgarian Folk Festival and many other cultural events. During the summer months Bansko is popular with visitors for hiking, walking, mountain picnics, biking, white water rafting, horseback riding, paint-balling, excursions to national parks, Dancing Bear Park or Rila Monastery. And for the golf enthusiast recently opened are 9 holes of the first Bansko Razlog golf course - Pirin golf, designed by European Golf Design as an 18 hole (par 72) layout, with the signature of 2006 Ryder Cup European team captain , Ian Woosnam. The full 18-hole Ian Woosnam design course will be opened in 2009 and over 30 other golf courses are either in the process of being built or planned within the coming months and years.
