I would recommend a one-on-one ski lesson with an instructor rather than a group. I feel you get more tailored teaching from a one-on-one session. Great weather on my trip. Be careful on the blue runs, in my opinion they are not as easy as they look. Some great mid-90s music blaring from the speakers at the top of the... More

Overall I’m satisfied with my Bansko experience. One thing I did not like is that some of the personnel at the lifts were rude to us. Always mumbling or yelling something out every time we were about to go up on the lift. I guess we did not use it to their liking. Also it sounds crazy but there is... More

I had never been a proper snowboarding holiday before, so chose to come to Bansko, as it was cheap and not too far away. I had a blast, although the conditions were mixed. I got the experience of boarding on ice, slush, powder, in the rain, in the snow, everything!! The first day we were here, only a few of... More

I just got back from a 5day ski trip to Bansko right at the end of the skiing season. I stayed at the best and most expensive hotel in the area (hotel Kempinski), but there were numerous other much cheaper hotels and apartments to choose from. Having skied most of the Alpine ski resorts over the past 20 years, I... More

The skiing is great here! Can't fault it!! Some staff at the restaurants are a bit ignorant and grumpy! The cheapest place to eat and drink dont listen to anyone that says otherwise, they are tight!

I enjoyed my time here. I wouldn't necessarily go back but overall it was an economical ski trip and not very crowded.

Extremely cheap, good pistes and off road options, and good organisation (something I did not really expect!). Would definitely recommend it!
