Bansko is the new Bulgarian ski resort, recently discovered by the foreign skiers and tourists, but well known in Bulgaria. Bansko provides a superb combination of virgin nature of The Pirin mountain and the atmosphere of the ancient Bulgarian small towns. Bansko is not only a resort but also a beautiful historic spot. Bansko ski resort is situated in South-Western Bulgaria at the foot hills of one of the beautiful Bulgarian mountain Pirin. The Pirin mountain is a natural preserve included in the World Natural Heritage list. The distance between Sofia and Bansko is 170 km. The nearest International Airport is the one in Sofia.

However, the slopes offer runs and tracks for all types of skiers and will suit both beginners and experts. Bansko is a new destination for the foreign skiers, has good snow record, offers great skiing and Après ski. The town itself attracts visitors by its 120 cultural monuments, its museums and the permanent ethnographic exhibitions. A very interesting sight is The Holly Trinity church with its 30 m high bell tower and clock, splendid murals and woodcarvings. Surrounded by The Pirin, The Rila and The Rhodopa mountains, Bansko is a nice mountain resort with short summer and long winter. The skiing season starts in the middle of December and ends in mid April. Bansko ski school is a very good one. All school graduates receive skiing certificate. Children above the age of 6 can attend the ski school too. Ski rentals are available. 24 hours emergency service is available too. It is significant to emphasize that there are no big queues on the lifts, except the weekends when Bulgarian skiers come.

Various souvenir shops offer the creations of the local artists and smiths. As one of the big ski resorts of Bulgaria, practically Bansko offers big opportunities in this respect satisfying visitors of different financial means. There are many luxury hotels as well as more than 40 small family hotels. We strongly recommend you arrange your hotel and additional skiing service before you go to Bansko, as the resort is quite busy during the winter. Bansko is very different from the famous ski resorts of Borovets or Pamporovo , which were specially designed skiing centres. Bansko combines great skiing, beautiful nature and historical significance.
