Bansko The All Year Round Resort

Bansko (Банско) is situated in south western Bulgaria in the foothills of one the Pirin Mountains The distance from Sofia to Bansko is 160 km (about two to two and a half hours connection). Bansko is an ideal location for skiing holidays or an activity break during the summer.

The town of Bansko is a delightful mixture of modern and old where the historical buildings and new alpine style developments compliment one another, with the stunning alpine backdrop formed by the Pirin Mountains.

Bansko offers great conditions for skiers and boarders of all standards and is internationally recognised as one of the Top 10 ski resorts for beginners.

After a hard day on the slopes what better way to relax than in one of the 300 bars and restaurants in Bansko.

During the summer the mountains are easily accessible and you can enjoy the spectacular natural beauty of the Pirin national reserve either on foot, by mountain bike, horse or by train. If you would prefer the less active experience you can explore the monasteries and historic/ cultural sites, all this together with the various festivals including the Bansko Jazz Festival.
