Pamporovo to Bansko

Does anyone know best way to get to Bansko from Pamporovo?

I noticed looking at train timetable you can get a train which takes 4.5hrs but someone today said it wasnt possible.

Another suggestion was bus to sofia then bus to Bansko which seems crazy.

Any suggestions?

The road through Velingrad is often closed by snow and is a dangerous drive in winter, albeit beautiful. The best route is indeed back through Sofia.

the best way is a bus to plovdiv , then you can get a bus to Bansko, there is no need to go to Sofia, that is a long way round.
