Bansko Skiing
Bansko is Bulgaria's premier ski resort, having the best and most modern ski centre of all Bulgarian ski resorts. During the recent years a multi-million euros investment in the brand new skiing area has been made and this, combined with the fact that Bansko has the best snow record and the longest ski season (15 Dec - 15 May) of all Bulgarian ski resorts means that you can be assured of excellent skiing in Bansko and a great holiday. Bansko is just 160 kilometers away from Sofia and 6 kilometers from Razlog. The new motorway construction from the airport will greatly reduce the transfer time and, as Bansko has developed into a favourite ski & snowboard destination, these services will continue to meet the needs of its customers.
New runs are constantly being added to the mountain and 2008 was no exception. There were 2 new lifts installed creating a number of new beginner /intermediate runs for 2007/08 season and will continue into 2009
Bansko Ski For Beginners
An ideal place to learn to ski, with excellent tuition and English speaking instructors. Once you have mastered the nursery slopes, there are numerous blue runs to explore and enjoy.
Bansko Ski For Intermediates
The majority of slopes in Bansko are easy blues and reds, which provide good coverage of the mountain.
Bansko Ski For Advanced
There are a couple of challenging black runs which are frequented by Olympic champion, Alberto Tomba.
Bansko Snowboarding and Extreme Sports
There is a brand new dedicated Snow Park with 90m by 16m half pipe for snowboarders and the resort also caters for extreme sports with paragliding and heli-skiing. There is a dedicated snowboard school and half-pipe to keep you entertained. In addition, a number of old drag lifts have been replaced by chairs to make the area more boarder friendly.
