5/5 - Excellent

David

A Cheap option for skiing. Great food. Skiing conditions are not always great

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Waiting longtime for gondola is still the worst problem of Bansko Ski Center. Maybe BanskoSki Center needs more clever managers to solve that problem.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Great place to visit. Very charming old town. Great food. Ski may be better after December.

4/5 - Good

Mrs

Souvenir shopping in the old town is a must. Eating at the traditional Bulgarian restaurant Ogellahoba Mexana is a must too.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Good for family skiing. Great wide open pistes. But a bit limited for strong skiers wanting plenty of variety. For that there needs to be development of another ski field and construction of an additional means of getting from town to slopes
