“…THE BEST SKI RESORT IN EASTERN EUROPE”

In recent years Bansko, a town of unique historical charm and atmosphere, of renaissance architecture and preserved cultural heritage, evolved into a world class winter resort with the help of more than 40 million Euros invested in the creation of a complex and technologically advanced skiing infrastructure capable of hosting FIS World Cup events for the 2008-2009 Championship.

Bansko is not only the most modern and technologically superior resort in Bulgaria, but also enjoys a superb snow record and the longest ski season of all Bulgarian recreation spots. The total length of marked pistes reaches 65km, with a unique 16 kilometer-long uninterrupted run from the top of the mountain (2560m) to the base station of the gondola, the last 7 km of which are lit at dusk and with snow cannons making sure your final descent to the friendly after-ski taverns and bars at the end goes as smoothly as possible day after day!

• Suitable pistes for skiers and snowboarders of all ages and skills 
• Hands-free Ski passes
• 26 km of ski lifts
• 45 km of powder cannon-covered slopes to ensure flawless snow conditions
