About
Bansko ski resort
The ancient town of Bansko is situated at the foothills of majestic
Pirin, one of the most beautiful Bulgarian mountains and listed as a
UNESCO World Heritage site. The resort has a predominantly Alpine
character with three peaks towering above 2900m. The slopes offer
runs and tracks for all types of skiers, from the novice to the
expert. Due to Bansko being a new resort, it has a very modern and
efficient infrastructure. It’s one of Bulgaria’s most rapidly
growing property markets because of its tourist popularity in both
the winter & summer season. The infrastructure is extremely modern,
which has made it so attractive for foreign & private housing
investment.

A regular bus-shuttle service interlinks the town, the
mountain hotels and the main ski centres. All the lifts are
controlled by a modern computer system connected directly with
the main company- the Austrian Ski-Data. The region is famous
for its great cuisine and colourful folklore and offers various
entertainment opportunities, so it really is hard to understand
why so many people are considering buying a property in Bansko.
The distance from Sofia to Bansko is 160 km, making this quaint
town accessible to the Capital. Book a winter holiday to Bansko,
with the Bulgaria ski specialists. We offer a wide range of Ski
holidays in Bulgaria, to suit snowboarders, families, students
and skiers of wide abilities. Talk to the Bulgaria ski holidays

Skiing &
snowboarding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The skiing conditions in Bansko are excellent, with slopes
offering various degrees of difficulty for all types of
snowboarders & skiers and will suit both beginners and experts.
It is significant to emphasize that there are hardly any queues
for ski lifts, which is a delight in comparison to skiing in the
rest of Europe. The lack of people crowding around major lifts,
is reminiscent of skiing in American and Canadian resorts.
This
has been made possible by highly efficient modern lifts and the
Ski Data chip-card ski passes, which you never have to take out
of your pocket, a convenience still rare in other resorts,
cutting the queues to a minimum. This is just one of many
reasons why to book Bulgaria ski holidays and to have a winter
break in Bansko.Beginners: The fine selection of gentle nursery slopes,
the excellent snow conditions of Bansko and of course, the English
speaking ski instructors make learning fun. The Bansko resort has
enough green and blue runs for beginners to become confident with
their control and posture. 1-1 tuition is available and is
ridiculously cheap. Nearly half the price that you would expect to
pay in France. Skiing in Bulgaria is a massive cost saving. Contact
the Bulgaria winter holidays experts about ski school and private
lessons.

Intermediate: There is a great choice of blue and red runs
in Bansko, making it ideal for intermediate skiing. You may try the
easier runs at the top of the mountain or you may try the more
tricky runs under the chair lifts. Bansko is the ideal resort to
improve your skiing and snowboarding ability. With fewer people on
the slopes and fast-modern lifts, you’ll appreciate more time on the
well groomed slopes.

Advanced: More advanced skiers will especially enjoy
Bansko’s glorious off-piste skiing. Tour guides are available and at
the fraction of the cost in comparison to other European resorts.
Snowboarders especially love the off piste action, finding great
locations to practice airs and other acrobatic maneuvers. (If you
wish to take it off-piste, please make sure that your insurance
policy covers off-piste skiing). Do not be surprised to meet the
Bulgarian National Ski Team in Bansko, because some of the runs keep
even this team busy. Send your winter holiday enquiry to the
Bulgaria ski professionals. We dedicate ourselves to skiing in
Bulgaria, so why travel with anybody else. We offer competitive
prices, cheap lift pass deals, great flight prices and lovely
western hotels. We love skiing in Bulgaria and we want you to
experience our passion for our snow holidays.

Learning to Ski in Bulgaria
The
Bansko ski school is a very good one, with plenty of blue runs
for beginners to practice on. Skiing classes come in 5
difficulty levels, from A to E - in groups or individually - of
varying duration. The tuition in cross - country skiing is in 2
classes of difficulty. All course graduates receive
skiing-certificates. The Ski teachers in this school are highly
qualified; speak multiple languages and have long experience.
Bulgaria Ski schools are unbelievably great value for money,
another cost benefit for ski holidays to Bansko. Bulgaria winter
holidays are simply wonderful, a winter wonderland, which
doesn’t cost the earth.

well as first aid, on all ski slopes. Fully equipped and
functioning hospitals are available in Bansko. Highly qualified
dentists are available at the resort too. Pharmacies are

facilities and amenities. You’ll be in safe hands when booking a
Bulgaria ski & snowboard holiday with Vamos Travel. Let us be
your number one choice for all your winter holiday needs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Après Ski & Bansko nightlife
You don’t have to be a skier to enjoy Bansko. Après ski can be the
most enjoyable part of a skiing holiday, but the most expensive. In
Bulgaria you get the best of both worlds. There are also over one
hundred mehanas (local taverns), offering finger-licking traditional
cuisine. Discover this jewel and you will not only be getting the
best skiing of your life but you will have tradition and
authenticity at your doorstep. Being a new skiing destination for
foreigners, prices in Bansko are still lower than the world famous
ski resorts of Borovets and Pamporovo. Discos and night clubs work
without time limit, and usually close early in the morning. Bansko’s
most popular hangout for party goers is the Amnesia disco club,
which features popular music in a relaxed atmosphere. Whatever you
choose to do at the end of a day’s skiing, please check with your
holiday representative, who will be able to give you best advice.
Overall, we would say that Bansko provides lots of traditional
atmosphere and very lively après-Ski.
