Top ten reasons to choose Bansko
Comfortable
hotels and modern facilities
Bansko’s four-star hotels rank among the best in the country. Restaurants
or shuttle services to the ski pistes – expect high standards. And with
its brand new ski-lift gear and renovated pistes, Bansko is truly the
avant-garde of Bulgarian mountain resorts.
A
ski run for any expertise level
Beginners - make your first steps downhill with some of Bulgaria’s best
ski instructors.
Intermediate - try our new and renovated medium-difficulty pistes serviced
by drags or chair lifts.
Experts - challenge the ski runs where Bulgaria’s Olympic champions train.
Great
value for money
At special introductory bed prices lower than those at other mountain
resorts in Bulgaria, this season Bansko offers some of the best value
for money. Plus, you can enjoy all new and renovated pistes at the price
of 65 Euro for a 6-day ski-lift pass.
Historical
and architectural heritage
There is plenty to see, hear, and taste in this small medieval town blessed
with mild climate and magnificent views. Numerous architectural and cultural
monuments, traditional songs and dances, peculiar local cuisine—all of
these add to the comfort of your hotel to make your stay a celebration
for the senses
Probably
the best skiing in Bulgaria
With its diverse new and renovated pistes offering over 50 kilometers
of crisp white snow, Bansko gives you the widest variety for any age and
any expertise level. Just take the new cabin ski-lift with capacity of
2400 persons/hour to the ski runs and ski until you are completely content
at the artificially lighted Stara Pista ski piste.
Excellent
apres ski
You don’t have to be a skier to choose Bansko! Buying a winter vacation
in Bansko gives you more than just a great winter resort—what you get
for your money is indeed a free journey to Bulgarian traditions. Virtually
every house has its own story to tell and with almost a hundred “mehana”
dining places to visit there will be a new world waiting for you to explore
every time you return to Bansko.
Boarders
love it
Bansko’s snowboard school and the option to rent your equipment will match
beginner’s expectations. With the new chair-lifts you will no longer have
to use ski-drags. Even experts will find some of our runs challenging.
Ease
of access
Bansko is only 150 km South of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Just two-and-a-half
hours after landing on Sofia Airport you can be checking-in at your comfortable
hotel at the footsteps of Pirin Mountain.
Magnificent
scenery
There must be a few reasons why Pirin Mountain is on UNESCO’s List of
World Heritage. Spectacular scenery and the true encounter of untamed
nature at Bansko are among those reasons.
Long
ski season
Do not get fooled by the mild in-town climate. At Bansko we normally expect
to have crisp snow on the ski pistes until early May, and recent investment
in snow making equipment has made us even more confident in claiming to
have a truly long ski season.
