Bansko Town|Ski facilities|Summer activities
Bansko is an historic medieval town, and its historical buildings and feel sit strangely well with the rapidly developing apartment blocks with their western comfort and facilities. Bulgarian law forbids the development of property outside towns, so the surrounding mountainous scenery on all sides is unspoilt and likely to remain so.
Bansko is not just a pretty town but is now of course famous for its great skiing. The Pirin mountains are regularly compared with the French Alps due to their similarity. Due to the alpine character, skiing conditions here are excellent .
The ski facilities at Bansko are also excellent. Bansko has recently seen a lot of investment to ensure that everything is top quality and this investment continues.New ski lifts incorporating the latest technnology have already been installed and the amount of ski runs are being expanded constantly. Snow making facilities have been much improved to incorporate 80% of the runs and skiing can now last into early May - a 5 month season! The ski hire facilities have all the latest equipment and have been expanded in anticipation of the growth in numbers, unlike many resorts that can barely handle the demand!
