We are very happy with our choice of ski school Snow Peaks and mostly with our ski instructor Dido who was in duty for our 4 years old daughter. He was always on time and was staying with us until the last minute of the lesson (even little more if needed), although my daughter was tired some times. My daughter got a great progress and for only 6 days she was skiing alone along the whole piste doing many turns. I am very satisfied with his attitude towards my daughter, the way he was talking to her and the way he was encouraging her. The most important thing for me is the fact that she still wants to go ski again.

100% reccomend renting your skis and instructor from Snow Peaks Bankso.
It is right opposite the gondola so not far to walk. They are open all day. They were really helpful and understanding when kitting us out with our equipment. Q1We had a fantastic lesson with a professional who was very patient and funny.
Everyone was really friendly and we were made to feel really welcome.
The prices were the best I saw on the mountain.
We would only use then if we came again! 😀

Great place to get kitted out and get your lessons from. Staff really friendly and helpful made us feel comfortable from the very start. Got a great location just opposite to the gondola,
Had good quality equipment and a great knowledge of the area.
Definitely be using them again next year.

Staff were very friendly and helpful within the shop and reception area, however had some issues with the organisation of equipment distribution.
One day items of our hire were missing when the staff placed them into the mini bus taking us to the end of the gondola (queues were awful ) driver drove off and we was stuck without skis or poles for two kids.
The first day the instructor went off with the younger kids lift passes once lessons had finished.
Another day the instructor was vomiting out of the gondola in front of our kids.
He also stopped to urinate in trees in front of them (one being a 14 year old girl)
He was constantly on his phone and didn’t progress the more advanced learners.
As a company I would have thought that with such a an age range within our group maybe the quicker learners would have been taught by a different instructor. They never progressed from the nursery slope (travelator one) except for the last day when he took them on the country run (what we had taken them on 2 days previous. They never done a drag/button lift as queues were too long apparently and never were taught how to turn. We did this.
Total waste of money with these guys lessons wise !!

Welcoming, friendly, very flexible arranging and replacing our rental gear (boots uncomfortable). Also very kindly allowed my wife and I to store our own kit overnight, making it much easier on tired legs. Excellent location just across the car park from the Gondola

Snow Peaks is the best ski and snowboard rental place in Bansko. Very conveniently located close to the Gondola lift. Their friendly and efficient staff provided us with excellent new equipment at a very reasonable price. It made skiing fun!

Booked an ATV tour with Snow Peaks whilst in Bansko for a week. Our guide Rodean was a lovely, friendly English speaking guy. As was the girl in the shop when booking the tour. After a few minutes instruction with our guide we were on our way. Gotta say myself and my wife had so much fun.
Great price, great time and a perfect end to our holiday. Many thanks to Snow Peaks for making this happen.
Check this place out you really won’t regret it....

Do not rent from here, all of their equipment is very old, they give you weak boards or ski and they hope for it to break so they can get more money from you, this can also be seriously dangerous, not polite at all worst people i ever met in bansko, there are so many better places dont go here

Yani is a former ski competitor from the National team and he makes really amazing things with his skis on. Most important is he is now even better as an instructor and I had a lovely progress. I was always safety on the slope thanks to him. All the staff in the ski school were very kind and helpful and take care for my ski equipment.
Thank you boys for helping me improve my skiing so much! I'd really enjoyed it!
