Bansko is Bulgaria’s newest and most rapidly developing ski resort. The construction
of the new gondola and ski facilities has made the resort the most modern in Bulgaria.
Being a unique combination of the newest winter sports complex and a lively medieval
town, Bansko offers a truly competitive alternative to the Alps at just a fraction
of the cost.
In the last two years, 50 million Euros have been invested in the Bansko infrastructure.
As well as the already existing new facilities, another 8 million Euro sports centre
is soon to be constructed which will include a school of skiing excellence. This
is to be developed as jointly between skiing legend Marc Girardelli, and the municipality
of Bansko .The town of Bansko is located on 925 m. above sea level, and its skiing
area is on 2000-2600 m. The Pirin mountain has a predominantly Alpine character and
highest peak in the area is Vihren 2914 m. The ski runs are located in two main ski-centres
CHALIN VALOG (1100-1600 m) and SHILIGARNIKA (1700-2500 m). They are approximately
10 kilometres above the town on the northern slopes of Pirin, and are easily accessible
for approx. 25 minutes on the new Gondola lift which starts from Bansko. The total
length of the marked runs is 65 kilometres. Although the resort is world famous for
not more than 10 years it has a lot to offer to its guests. The resort has excellent
snow conditions with great snow cover from December until May. 44 Technoalpine snow
cannons cover most of the slopes and make the ski season last longer. The maximum
pleasure from the various ski runs is guaranteed by 12 Kassbohrer slope maintenance
vehicles. Thus the slopes offer runs and tracks for all types of skiers and will
suit both beginners and experts. The snowboard lovers can enjoy the first on the
Balkans fun park where people from all over the world are lead by the passion of
the extreme. They can build jumps suiting their taste and abilities. Every day skiers
and snowboarders can take part in the competitions on the new run on Shiligarnika
