Bansko was voted Europe's most improved ski resort in the first Great Skiing and Snowboarding Guide 2006 awards by the Daily Telegraph, and has the best winter-sports facilities in Bulgaria. Bansko's ski runs are kept in pristine condition by the most technically advanced piste equipment in the world, which includes ample snow cannons that keep the pistes open when others in Bulgaria have to close. Bansko has an exclusive 16-kilometre uninterrupted ski run that starts from Todorka Peak at 2600 metres, and ends at the newly built Gondola.
Skiers of all abilities are well catered for as Bansko has 70 kilometes of marked ski runs, accessed by the modern Gondola lift. You can also try night skiing, or skating at the new Ice Rink located close to the Gondola. There is also snowboarders’ half-pipe facility and fun-park area as well as biathlon and cross-country trails. ski-schools are available for all ages and abilities . There is also a non-skiing kindergarten.
