Description
Bansko is fast becoming Bulgaria's most popular resort. Investment and building work over the past few years has seen a great transformation. The skiing is great for beginner and intermediate levels with over 65kms of marked runs and great off piste and powder opportunities.
One of the bonuses to this massive investment has been that the state of the art lift systems ensures few queues and the modern snowmaking equipment ensures good artificial snow cover over a large area of piste. The number of ski runs is a little limited, but the pistes are well groomed and not too crowded.
