Hello to all.I would like to ask how much is the entrance ticket for the mountain and if there are ane special offers such as a week ticket or anything similar.
And another question if anyone can answer and help.I saw that the official period is starting at 15h Dec.If i decide to travel lets say at 22th Nov-30th Nov and there is the proper weather the mountain will be open for visitors or not?
Thanks a lot
The normal 6 day pass for all lifts is 283lv, no offers unless provided through your tour operator. The official start of the winter season is around the 15th Dec, normally even if there has been no appreciable snowfall, the cannons have been running for a couple of weeks. Any time before this the system will be closed even if there has been a good snowfall...
Unfortunately the end of November is not a suitable time for a ski holiday in the Pirin Mountain. Usually the highest parts of the mountain offers cool weather during the end of the autumn season, but still not enough snow cover for skiing. That is why the gondola lift in Bansko operates with its summer schedule – Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM – 16:30 PM. This gondola lift can take you to “Banderishka polyana” site. The price for the gondola ride is 5 BGN one way.

Hi Doltrin,

Numerous mountain routes are available from Bansko town itself, so if you aim to just walk around, it is not necessary to use the gondola lift.

thanks all for your reply.im intrensting only for snowboard.so what do you think is the most suitable time to visit bansko? i havent been there and i want to enjoy as much as i can a 10 day trip there for snowboard and relax.
Try end of January to beginning of February, virtually guaranteed snow (especially with 120 snow cannons)... My favourite is March, longer days, a bit of sunshine and a little quieter...
Fingers crossed for a good season snow wise, and a bit of time to enjoy it... We are already getting booked up for next season, so possibly not
