BANSKO
Bulgaria’s number one ski resort! As well as having the best snow record and the longest ski season (c.15 Dec – 15 Apr) of all Bulgarian resorts, the new multi-million Euro investment in the ski area has provided Bansko with one of the most advanced ski centres in Europe. The highlight of this being the direct 8 seater gondola's which carry skiers and snowboarders from the town, right up to the nursery slope. There is also a fun park and half-pipe available.
For the more athletic, there is 9 km of cross-country ski tracks.
The Bansko ski area offers its guests a unique 16-kilometer uninterrupted ski run, starting from Todorka Peak at the highest point, all the way to base station. The last 7 km of the slope from Banderishka Polyana down to the gondola station is floodlit between 18:30 and 21:30 and the entire run is equipped with artificial snow machines to ensure a great skiing experience even in warmer condition. A 30 second stroll will take you into the Happy End bar opposite the gondola base station!

Happy End (ulitsa Pirin, next to the lift station) is a large, lively bar attracting a wide range of skiers straight from the slopes, with occasional live music.
Amigo Bar (ulitsa Pirin) is a good place to go and serves great cocktails.
The Lion bar opposite Strazhite Hotel on Pirin is a very English pub and has
Sky Sports channels on several TV's.
