Bus Hire in Bansko, Bulgaria

Bansko runs on two separate calendars. From December to March, it is Bulgaria's biggest ski resort by some distance, with a gondola lifting skiers straight from the edge of town up into the Pirin range. The rest of the year, a slower, older Bansko reappears: stone houses with heavy timber roofs, built by 19th century wool merchants who funded the town's icon-painting and woodcarving schools.

Vihren, at 2,914 metres the second-highest peak in Bulgaria, rises within the Pirin National Park just above the resort, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1983 for its glacial lakes and old-growth forest. Groups splitting a trip between skiing and heritage sightseeing rarely need to leave the area: the old town's museum houses and the ski lift base sit a short walk apart.

The Pirin Ski Resort

A gondola runs from the edge of Bansko's old town directly into the Pirin range, making this Bulgaria's largest ski resort and the busiest winter coach destination in the country, December to March.

Vihren Peak and Pirin National Park

The National Revival Old Town
