Skiing conditions in Bansko are excellent. Well groomed tree-lined slopes, an efficient and modern lift
infrastructure, and abundant snowfall make Bansko the best and the most modern ski centre of all Bulgarian ski resorts.
Bansko has the best snow record and the longest ski season (mid Dec - mid Apr) of all Bulgarian ski resorts. During
the last few years the area has seen a massive investment process, expressed by the building of many new resort
facilities, restaurants, clubs for entertainment etc. With a recent 33 million EUR facelift Bansko gives
you the widest available variety of skiing for any age and experience level. About 35% of the ski runs are suitable
for beginners, 40% for intermediate, and 25% for advanced. Huge monitors showing pictures from the different pistes
are on display at the base of the Gondola enabling you to judge the wind and temperature conditions before climbing up
the slope. The excellent ski runs comply with the standards of FIS and are located in two main ski-centers –
Chalin Valog (the peak’s hollow) (1100-1600 m.a.s.l.) and Shiligarnika (1700-2500 m.a.s.l.).
There is some good off-piste riding available but local knowledge or having a guide is strongly advised to avoid any danger. Snowboard enthusiasts can enjoy long tree-lined runs or the new dedicated park with a half pipe facility 90m high and 16m wide. Here they can build jumps according to their own taste and ability.
