Bansko

Bansko is a ski and mountain resort located in the south-western part of Bulgaria. The town is situated 6 km from the town of Razlog and 160 km from the capital of Sofia. Bansko lies on the two banks of the Glazne river at the foot of the Pirin mountain, right bellow the highest part of it. The Pirin mountain is an Alpine type mountain with its highest peak. The town of Bansko is located 925m above the sea level whereas its ski area.

So we waked up after a 3 hours sleep to get ready for breakfast and ski. We went to Gondola Lift Station, which connects Bansko with Banderishka Polyana. Up at Baderishka Polyana you can use ski slopes 1 and 2, there are tubing, restaurants, children’s play area and a soccer field. Our lift pass price was each 20 Lev, 10 Euro. Also we were so glad to be at the traditional Bansko Season Opening 2016/17.

After having an amazing time we went for dinner at the Restaurant Barbeque Stone Flower.



Then we headed to a Karaoke bar and we had the best time ever, we really enjoyed it.
Back to the hotel, for an early morning wake up, a quick breakfast and the way back.

We did a stop to Sandanski, which is a town and a recreation centre in south-western Bulgaria. Named after revolutionary Yane Sandanski, it is situated in a valley at the foot of Pirin Mountains, along the banks of Sandanska Bistritsa River. Sandanski is about 20 km away from Bulgaria-Greece border and 100 km away from Aegean sea.
The town has a convenient location, mild to warm climate and relatively high concentration of thermal water springs, which all make it a very popular destination for relaxation, recreation and shopping.
