Bansko views

Other than that the skiing area is very good although the blue run back to the gondola station is very crowded. No bobody seemed to have piste maps and if they printed these and distributed them it would be a big help as there are alternmatives available.
The skiing from the very top of the mountain is as good as anywhere else.
Bansko offers good value and is very reasonable in pricing although lift pass is expensive if purchased in the resort. Also be sure to book your equpiment in advance as this is also limited.

Hi Steve,

if going with a tour operator book your skipass/hire in advance

If not there are no deals for larger groups.

In resort it's 280 leva around £100 for the ski pass, Pick up a piste map when buying your lift pass!!!!!!!!

Ulen offer 20% off ski pass if you also get ski/boot hire (150 leva) so both would cost 374 leva
