Bulgarian Off Plan Estates.

Bansko is Bulgaria's number 1 ski resort, having the best and most modern ski centre of all the Bulgarian ski resorts. During recent years a multi-million euro investment in a brand new skiing area has been made by "Yulen", the company which has the licence to run the skiing area of the resort. Bansko has the best snow record and the longest ski season (15 Dec - 15 May) of all the Bulgarian ski resorts. During the last couple of years this resort has undergone a massive investment process with new hotels and resort facilities under construction. There is also a brand new resort area with super luxury hotels and holiday apartments being developed just opposite the Gondola lift, at this point in time. Bansko is the resort with the best hotels, best facilities and is "THE" place to buy in Bulgaria.

Bansko Resort

The town of Bansko is situated nearby the river Glazne (left feed of the Mesta River) in the north- eastern foot of Pirin, right below the highest and most beautiful part of the mountain. Bansko's name comes from the old Bulgarian word "ban" which means master. It is located just 160 kilometers away from Sofia and 6 kilometers from Razlog. Bansko has developed into a favourite ski & snowboard destination, thanks to the excellent ski facilities combined with the unique architecture and history.
The town of Bansko is located on 925 m. above sea level, and its skiing area is on 2000-2600 m. The Pirin Mountain has a predominantly Alpine character and the highest peak in the area is Vihren at 2,914 m.

Bansko Ski Slopes

The ski pistes are located in two main ski - centres, CHALIN VALOG (1,100-1,600 m) and SHILIGARNIKA (1,700-2,500 m). They are approximately 10 km above the town on the northern slopes of Pirin, and are easily accessible\ being just 25 minutes ride on the new Gondola lift which starts from Bansko. The total length of the marked pistes are 70 kilometers.
Although the resort has been famous for less than than 10 years it has a lot to offer its guests. The resort has excellent snow conditions with great snow cover from December until May.
