About Bansko
Bansko is Bulgaria's premier ski resort, a UNESCO-protected 18th-century town at the foot of the Pirin Mountains that has developed a modern gondola-accessed ski area rising to 2,560m with 75km of well-maintained piste. The combination of authentic Bulgarian mountain town culture, good quality skiing for intermediates, and lift passes costing a fraction of Alpine prices has made Bansko one of the fastest-growing ski destinations in Europe, particularly popular with British and Eastern European skiers seeking exceptional value.
