Bansko is a new Bulgarian ski resort, recently discovered by foreign skiers and tourists. It provides a superb combination of splendid nature – a trademark for the Pirin Mountain region – and the atmosphere of 19th century Bulgarian small towns. Obviously, Bansko is not only a resort, but also a beautiful historic spot. The town attracts visitors by its 120 cultural monuments, museums and ethnographic exhibitions.
Surrounded by the Pirin, Rila and Rhodope Mountains, Bansko is a nice mountain resort with short summer and long winter. The skiing season starts in mid-December and ends in mid-April, and the skiing conditions are simply excellent. The Pirin Mountain has a predominantly Alpine character, with 2 peaks towering above 2900 m, but the slopes offer runs and tracks for all types of skiers and will suit both beginners and experts.
Bansko’s two major ski areas are situated above the town, on the northern slopes of the Pirin Mountain, approximately 10 km away from the town. Slalom and giant slalom runs are available, as well as a cross-country track with a total length of 5 km. All ski runs (with a total length of 14 km) are serviced by 2 lifts and several drags.
