Bansko

Thanks to its enviable location, Bansko is an ideal base for both winter and summer visitors.  Bansko is the newest of the Bulgarian ski resorts and combines the qualities of an old Bulgarian town and a new ski resort, boasting many historic monuments and traditional museums. This region is also famous for its cuisine and folklore.

Over the last seven years, 200 million euros has been invested in Bansko, nearly 40 million euros in the ski facilities alone. This is reflected in the number and quality of ski lifts including an 8-man Doppelmayer Gondola cable car, five 4-seat lifts of the latest Doppelmayer models, one 3-seat lift by Poma, 6 drags and 10 baby drags. The easy access to all lifts is secured by chip-cards from SkiData.

There are 65 kilometers of marked ski runs and ski tracks, with more planned, which are regularly maintained by 12 Kassbohrer snow grooming machines. Excellent quality, crisp white snow is guaranteed from December until May by 40 TechnoAlpin snow cannons. The average temperature during January, the coldest month, is - 1.9°C and snow falls are generally abundant, providing a constant winter snow cover up to 2 metres thick.

In the summer visitors can enjoy walking, mountain biking, riding and white water rafting in the beauty of Pirin National park.  An Ian Woosnam golf course is under construction 3km outside Bansko.

Bansko is situated 160km from the capital city Sofia, which is about 2½ hours drive by car.  There are direct flights to Sofia from the UK.  An airport is planned in the resort in the future.

Mountains in Bansko are ideal for extreme skiing on huge slopes with clear, beautiful lines and fresh powder snow and Lavina Spa & Ski Lodge is the perfect place to own and rent out if you want a vibrant atmosphere and a sense of fun and adventure.
