Everything you need for hitting the slopes
There is a wide choice of ski rental shops in Bansko, many situated around the gondola station. Information on ski passes, ski and snowboard equipment rental and ski lessons from local ski school instructors is available on the official Bansko ski resort website at www.banskoski.com, which also carries webcam footage, maps and current weather. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much cheaper ski rental, passes and lessons are compared with other European resorts. We are happy to recommend a rental shop to you – please ask.
Ski tuition in Bansko is of a high standard and caters for all abilities. There are plenty of blue runs for beginners to practice on. Skiing classes come in five difficulty levels, from A to E - in groups or individually, while cross country skiing tuition is in two classes of difficulty. The ski instructors speak multiple languages and Bulgarian ski schools are unbelievably great value for money.
Beginners: There is a good selection of gentle green and blue nursery slopes to learn on and the excellent snow conditions and English speaking ski instructors make learning fun. In addition to a wide choice of ski classes, one-to-one tuition is also available at almost half the price you would expect to pay in France.
Intermediate: There is a great choice of blue and red runs in Bansko for intermediate skiers, ideal for improving your skiing and snowboarding ability.
Advanced: More advanced skiers will especially enjoy the off-piste opportunities. Tour guides are available and at a fraction of the cost in other European resorts. Snowboarders will find great locations to practice jumps and turns, including in the snowboarders park, and if you are feeling truly adventurous then why not try extreme skiing, heli-skiing or even paragliding down onto the pistes!
