Bansko
Bansko is 160 km south of the Bulgarian capital Sofia, about a two hour drive from Sofia Airport, with 120 km of motorway for part of the distance, as well as, at 150 km from the Greek sea resort Kavala.
Pirin is a markedly Alpine type of mountain. Its ski runs provide excellent conditions for both professional and amateur skiers. A highly functional network of ski lifts and draglifts has been built here on cutting-edge technology. The ski runs are equipped with safety facilities and excellently maintained.
Snow cover lasts from November until May, and there is the additional advantage of snow cannon that can be used during the winter season.
Winter snow is abundant, forming lasting snow cover up to 3 metres thick. In January, the coldest month of the year, the average air temperature is minus 1.9°C.
In recent years, Bansko has emerged as a leading ski resort in Bulgaria, attracting a growing number of foreign holiday-makers.
Not surprisingly, the Financial Times recently described Bansko as the best ski resort in Eastern Europe, surpassing two other first-class winter holiday spots in the country, Pamporovo and Borovets, in terms of number, design and equipment of ski runs.
This assessment was made after Bansko absorbed the largest amount of investment, over EUR 40 million, in preparation for the ski season for the third year running.

Local attractions
South of Bansko is the Pirin National Park, a World Heritage Site included in the UNESCO Network of National Geoparks.
Bansko is officially designated a Museum Town. It is a place where the present meets the past: a modern-style town centre contrasts with rows of period houses lining old cobblestone streets.
The town boasts more than 140 cultural monuments.
Ancient fortresses and late-medieval churches have been partly or fully preserved in the vicinity of Bansko.
The town is the birthplace of famous Bulgarian poets, writers, painters, and revolutionaries.
Bansko also serves as a starting point for trips to many other places of interest, such as the town of Melnik, the Rozhen Monastery, the large cities of Sofia and Plovdiv, the Bachkovo Monastery, the resort towns of Sandanski and Velingrad, and the villages of Leshten and Kovachevitsa, where the architecture is typical of the National Revival Period (18th-19th century). A different type of attraction is offered by the Yagodinska Cave, which is a wonder of nature.
Bansko is also set to become a preferred summer destination, especially as it is included in round trips organized by international agents TUI, Thomas Cook, and ITS.
