Bulgaria Ski discussion board

There are loads of really nice walks in the pirin-mountains and local countryside, bowling (you have been there though), swimming, rent a bike, take a trip along to Dobrinishte (nearby village) where there are plenty other walks and thermal baths, from there you can head up to the Bezbog chairlift (a small ski area soon to be developed into something similar size to Bansko's slopes) maybe try skiing there? Alternatively if you are with an adult and you really don't want to ski rent a car and visit nearby villages such as Melnik or the Rila Monastery. There is a narrow gauge railway which passes through Bansko at the far end of town - again you could use it for a day trip somewhere different

Lots of things to do - just depends on what interests you other than skiing/boarding

they also open an ice rink most years in Bansko depending in the temperature. Head down Pirin street towards the first of the main squares. Before you get to the first square you will come to a cross roads. Tahe a left and if its there it will be on your left. It would also be possible to hop into a taxi and head down to Blavograd to the cinema. Journey 1/2 hr hould cost no more than 50 lev. They sometimes also have some mad carnival type rides in the middle of the town such as bungee catapults etc. To be honest if your kids have much more energy then what it taakes to eat at the end of a days sking then maybe you could get the instructers to work them a bit harder. Damed if I can do much more than eat and a few pints at the end of the day
