Any advice on where to stay in Bansko, what it's like compared to Pamps and whether early January is reliable for snow?Went to Pamporovo last March
Thanks

re: bansko in January?
Bansko is more snow sure than Pamps because it is higher. cant advise on where to stay as have only been to Pamps. But more runs and longer than pamps looks a good option but night life is not as goodre: bansko in January?
Thanks for the info DanielI heard that Bansko has more demanding skiing. What do you know on that front?
re: bansko in January?
The runs in general are a bit more demanding than Pamps, some of the reds are very steep. Only one black run. Went there this January after two years in Pamps for a change.
I'd say the skiing was more challenging, but, as Daniel said, the nightlife is quiter - more local tavernas than busy pubs - although there is one nightclub in town - it depends what you want out of the holiday.
We stayed in the Hotel Pirin and we are all going back again this January - no complaints about that one ...

re: bansko in January?
It's a good area to ski (or board). All new lift equipment, well maintained pistes. Was there in March this year, stayed at the Hotel Bansko which was adequate - warm dry and clean, food indifferent - I would go back. The Strazhite looked like the best hotel in town - recently renovated, and the closest to the ski area. Listed here as a three star, but actually 4. Also the pistes are a lot more extensive than the maps here suggest. (no, really, I _do_ like this website)Enjoy
