Bulgaria's ski resort with charming old stone town
Bansko sits in the Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria's premier ski resort with a picturesque old town of whitewashed stone houses and narrow lanes that feel untouched by 21st century. The skiing is solid, the après-ski is lively, and summer brings hikers. The main plaza hosts restaurants and stays vibrant. The surrounding Pirin National Park is stunning, and the town's energy never quite matches western Alpine resorts—keeping prices lower and character higher.
