Bulgaria’s Bansko is distinguished by great value for money and a cheerful atmosphere all its own. Nestled between a medieval town and the Unesco-listed Pirin National Park are 75km of piste, rising to an altitude of over 2500m, and with reliable snow cover between December and April. In 2021, the Bulgarian Ski Federation and Bansko will host the Ski World Cup and the World Championship, as well as the male skiers in February 2023, reinforcing its importance in the eastern European ski scene. Here's what you need to know about skiing in Bansko.

Bansko ski resort offers 18 ski slopes. This includes six blue and two orange for the beginners, while for the advanced skiers and boarders there are 11 red and two black pistes to choose from. Needless to say that the beginner’s slopes are way busier than those for advanced riders, especially when it comes to official holidays in Bulgaria, during the weekends and on a sunny day. The 14km "ski road" from the summit to the town is great for those finding their legs, although it gets choked with homebound skiers after 4.30pm, when last rides are called on the lifts.

Intermediate and beginner skiers and boarders will find an excellent piste network on the mountain, served by a mixture of uncovered chairs and draglifts. When the snow is plentiful (as it generally is between January and April) there are some good off-piste options for the more advanced; and even when it’s not, more than 90% of the runs are equipped with snow-making facilities. Riding off-piste is not recommended if you're not equipped for freeriding, as the avalanche risk is high right after snowfalls and in warmer weather. It's best to join an off-piste ski tour led by a certified local guide.

When not swaddled in cloud, the arresting beauty of the 400-sq-km Pirin National Park is a real highlight. It is home to between one quarter and one third of the country’s plant and bird species, includes dramatic peaks such as Mt Vihren (2914m) and Todorka (2746m), and even reputedly shelters wolves and bears. On clear days with good snow underfoot it’s hard to beat the combination of Bansko’s long, broad and varied runs, banks of stately fir trees, and views of the surrounding peaks and town below.

Once off the mountain, there’s a wonderful array of cheap eating and drinking options on offer: from tacky UK-themed pubs serving the lager-and-Sky-football crowd, to snug, atmospheric mehanas (traditional taverns) knocking out hearty local specialties in the tangled streets of the old town. Sex shops, outlets for Bulgarian crafts, half-built hotels, traditional timbered houses and grey-stone monasteries complete an atmosphere unique among European ski resorts.

There are lots of rental outlets in the higher reaches of the town; prices are mostly comparable (and service relaxed and efficient) across the board. Lift passes (400 lv/€205 for six days; student discount available) can be arranged in advance through your chalet or online via Ski Point. Passes can also be bought from the gondola at the foot of the mountain, but expect to queue.
