BANSKO
Bansko is Bulgaria’s number one ski resort. As well as having the best snow record and the longest ski season (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 gondola ride which carries skiers and snowboarders from the town, right up to the first stop in the resort.
Nightlife - Bansko has a great selection of bars and restaurants (called Mehanas) as well as a number of night clubs, ten-pin bowling, casinos, and live entertainment
Excursions - Mineral spas, Rila Monastery, Melnik Winery, Bear park, Yagodinska Cave, Mountain train journey to Velingrad
Winter activities - Skiing/Snowboarding with terrain park and half-pipe, night skiing, off-piste, heli-skiing and ski-doo safari (Kids are welcome at the Bansko ski kindergarten where they are taken care of with plenty of fun activities, leaving the grown-ups to take to the slopes)
Summer activities - Golf, Mountain biking, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, horse riding, paintball, paragliding, caving, jeep safaris and fishing.
