Overview

The Hotel Pirin’s prime spot and fab spa facilities make it the ideal base for an action-packed ski getaway. Get on the slopes in a snap with the free hotel-run shuttle service to the nearest gondola. Plus, the vibrant mix of local bars and traditional Bulgarian restaurants in the Old Town are a 5 minutes’ stroll away. After a day of mountain thrills, relax with a dip in the indoor pool or unwind in the sauna and steam room.

Inside, there’s a cosy and inviting atmosphere, from the lobby bar’s stone walls and dark wood beams to the snug fireplace. The rooms are simple and comfy – great for recharging after a day on the slopes. Whether you’re lounging in the lobby or kicking back in your room, you’ll feel right at home.

You’ll be sure to work up an appetite on the mountains, so the buffet-style meals here will be truly needed. Start your day by loading up platefuls of your familiar faves at breakfast and get a taste for traditional Bulgarian cuisine at dinner.

About Bansko

A rapidly expanding town, Bansko is 160km south of Bulgaria's capital, Sofia. Set at an altitude of 935m, it is dominated by Vihren, the highest mountain (2,915m) in the spectacular Pirin range, close to the Macedonian border.

The town lacks shopping facilities (there are no supermarkets at all,) but toiletries and confectionery can be bought in the larger hotels. Three museums record Bansko's place in Bulgaria's history and the 500-year old church is a prominent feature.

The ski pistes are located in two main ski - centres- CHALIN VALOG (1100-1600m) and SHILIGARNIKA (1700-2500m). They are approximately 10 kilometers above the town on the northern slopes of Pirin, and are easily accessible for approx. 25 minutes on the new Gondola lift which starts from Bansko. The region's pisted area is small, but there is an estimated 750km of skiable terrain if you venture off-piste which can be reached by lift, snowmobile or M18 Russian helicopter.
