You will always get queues at all resorts at peak times , just some people more than other's seem to whinge a liittle more about Bansko , even some whom have never been a, but have read it on the internet , therefore it must be true.

SO best advise plan around these holidays , be up bright and early and take advantage of a shuttle

Kind regards WFM ...

Check Bansko blog.com for an up to date list of national holidays . I think eRly Jan is normally when the Russians go to Bansko so can be busy

re:bansko

All depends on what you like :

Queens Pub , big venue, live acts and food available
Euphoria , several different meun's , great atmosphere
Morris Bar , fun place, live tv, pool table and larger than life bar maid called Rossie who has a favourite british swear word saying
Happy End ... happy hour straight off the gondola , live entertainment
Pirin 75 small but great place

Im sure some more locals will be along shortly to tell you their favourite places

re:bansko

Pirinsko is good and cheap
Winschenso is in a stubby bottle very nice
They do dark wincschenso too - but it's hard to find.


Happy end is good fun indoor or outdoor.
I also like the small bar with the piste basher beside the gondola and in front of he happy end. Barman same every year.
