The historic town of Bansko is situated in the Southwest of Bulgaria in the foothills of the beautiful Mount Pirin. The mountain's twin peaks soar to over 2900 m and it is an area of breathtaking alpine beauty.
Bansko's emergence as an international ski resort owes much to its good snow record and excellent ski runs, catering for skiers of all standards, from beginners to experts, in a season that lasts from December to April. The town's historic ambience blends perfectly with the facilities of a modern ski resort. The local ski school is excellent and ski rentals and 24-hour emergency services are readily available.
Apres ski in the taverns and restaurants of the Old Town offers the opportunity to enjoy the local cuisine and culture. Discos and nightclubs are all part of the local scene. Prices are about 30% of ski resorts in France, Austria and Switzerland.
