Destination Guides - Bansko ski holidays

Bansko

If you fancy a ski break and your piggy bank is almost depleted, you'll be delighted when you see what your limited funds can buy in Bulgaria. A Bansko ski holiday offers great facilities at bargain basement prices. You don't need to go to the more upmarket resorts of Europe in order to have a good time. Bansko lies below the Pirin mountains at an altitude of one thousand metres. It has a long history and its old town has world heritage status so there are places to explore if you'd like a rest from the slopes.

Bansko has seventy kilometres of pistes that accommodate all levels of expertise from the absolute beginner to the seasoned skier. With English speaking instructors, novices will soon progress from the nursery slopes to gentle blues further up the mountain. The more difficult blues together with the reds, give intermediates plenty to occupy their days. With demanding reds, the Alberto Tomba black and great off-piste skiing, there are challenges for the advanced skier. There is a snow park for boarders. The season lasts from the middle of December until the end of March.

Hotels and apartments provide high standards of comfort and have all modern amenities. Eating out is very cheap and Bansko restaurants cater for all tastes. Local wines are as pleasing to the pocket as they are to the palate. Nightlife is fairly lively with pubs and clubs providing a party atmosphere. Recreational activities include bowing, ice skating and swimming.

Low cost airlines fly from many regional airports to Sofia which has a transfer time of three hours. Check to see if your own local airport offers this service.
