Of all the locations in Bulgaria, Bansko is one of the best if you want to go skiing or snowboarding. Bansko is a quaint and charming town in the southwest of Bulgaria, and it sits on the Glazne River right next to the Pirin Mountains. When you book flights to Bansko through easyJet, we fly you to Sofia, a 7,000-year-old city that offers tourists plenty of culture and shopping opportunities.
Bulgaria flights are well-known for being affordable, and while other Bulgarian cities such as Burgas, Plovdiv, and Varna are larger and livelier, Bansko is ideal for apres-ski activities thanks to its karaoke bars, clubs, bars, casinos, and restaurants.
Getting to Bansko from Sofia Airport
Our flights to Bansko land in Sofia where you can travel to Bansko using a private/airport transfer, hire car, bus or taxi. Most journeys take around 2 hours.
Things to do and see in Bansko
The star attraction in Bansko is the slopes, but you’ll also find other things to see and do, such as visiting the “Neofit Rilski” House-Museum and Holy Trinity Church.
Slalom your way down some of the best European mountains in Bulgaria
There are two main ski areas in Bansko – Shiligarnika and Chalin Valog, both of which boast runs as high as 2,500m. You can reach them via a gondola ride from the centre of the town. The resort also has a fast network of lifts and offers a choice of slopes for skiers and boarders of all levels. The snow lasts from December through to May.
Take your skiing to the next level at Method Snow School and Bansko Ski Mania
Suppose you’d like to improve your skills through group or one-on-one lessons with professional skiing or snowboarding instructors. In that case, you can go to Bansko Ski Mania between 1st December and 17th April. They even have a ski school for children. An alternative option is the Method Snow School, a British-run school that operates both group and private lessons for skiers. It offers classes for all levels, as well as family lessons.
Weather in Bansko
July is the warmest month, with an average temperature of 22°C. The town is at its coldest (-2°C) in January. However, the coldest months help to keep the mountains topped up with snow!
