Bansko

Bansko provides an interesting combination of natural beauty mixed with the unique atmosphere of an ancient Bulgarian town. While wandering through Bansko's quiet streets you will find a sense of peacefulness that emanates from the mountain peaks that surround the town.

Bansko is just 160 km south of the Bulgarian capital of Sofia, 60 km Southeast of Blagoevgrad and 6 km south of Razlog. Bulgaria has four international airports of which Sofia airport is just 3 hours flying time from London. The transfer time from Sofia to Bansko takes 2.5 hours by road.

Obviously Bansko's outdoor activities are primarily based on and around its breathtaking slopes. The Pirin mountains have a predominantly Alpine character and boast three peaks towering above 2900 m. However, the slopes are perfectly equipped to offer runs and tracks to encapsulate all types of skiers from novices to experts. Bansko is a climatic mountain resort with a short summer and long winter.

While Bansko is famous for skiing, snowboarding and extreme sports, its dramatic landscape acts as the perfect backdrop for activities including climbing, trekking, walking and mountaineering. Bulgaria is also tipped to be the future golf destination of southeast Europe.
