We like our blogs to be on all sorts of different topics that are useful for our guests. For example we’ve written about what to pack for a skiing holiday, what you can do away from the slopes or we go into more details about the different resorts such as Bansko, Borovets and Pamporovo in Bulgaria and Kranjska Gora, Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj in Slovenia.
However, the intention of this blog is unashamedly a ‘salesy’ blog! It’s to encourage you to book your skiing holiday before 23 September, but it’s for a very good reason!

Bansko is a town in south west Bulgaria located at the foot of the Pirin Mountain, 925 metres above sea level rising to 2746 metres at the top of Todorka, the highest peak in Bansko. Bansko is an actual town where people live, work and go to school, this is very different from Borovets (our other featured ski resort in Bulgaria), which is a purpose built ski resort.
That Bansko is an actual town adds to it charm. You can ski during the day and then head into the old town at night for a few drinks or a meal at one of Bansko’s ‘Mehanas’, a traditional style Bulgarian restaurant serving authentic and local food and

We say all this because Eurochange, the holiday money people at most airports, have named Borovets as Europe’s cheapest ski resort. They compared the cost of things like a lift pass, accommodation, ski
