While Bansko is a relatively new resort, it has recently seen a ton of investment put into its facilities and lift systems, putting it firmly on the European radar. While it could never be described as extensive, which might put off the more advanced groups, for beginners it’s the perfect size to get to grips with resort life.
Not only does Bansko cater well for beginners, sitting in Bulgaria it’s still a rough diamond, so while it’s brimming with rustic charm, you can dodge the high prices you’d be expecting to pay in the Alps.
