Start of the new winter season in Bansko!
So, the new Ski season for Bansko is upon us with last weekend’s opening seeing Bansko blazed in sunshine. With British tourist bookings up by around 30% on this time last year and the strong pound it looks like the Brits are definitely taking advantage of skiing in the best value ski resort in Europe.
Let’s also not forget the Greeks, Russians, Macedonians, Romanians, Serbian, Israeli, Turkish - yes, Bansko has really evolved into an international ski destination for all!
What’s new this season in Bansko?
Well, ULEN have been busy installing a new 6-man chair lift and 2 new slopes up the mountain. Also they have pleased the seasonaires by re-introducing the full season pass and no price rise on a full day pass.
The main infrastructure upgrade of 68 km of underground pipes is ongoing but always good to see planning for the future. The Local Mayor came good with his promise that all main road arteries would be completed in time for the season so the tourists will not be affected.
New bars & restaurants which I always get asked about
Check out Smokey Mountain & The Bears - two great new venues and well worth a visit.
My personal favorites - Euphoria, Zero and Lions. I’m sure you will not be disappointed all with great food and drink menus.
Is it true that the property prices start to rise and Bansko turns the crisis corner???
Personally I think it started last year. You can also read our latest ski property report.
So, what would you look for in a complex?
It’s pretty easy, look for a complex which is working properly with good maintenance and management in place. Location near the gondola is always nice but some great bargains still to be had for the difference of being 500 m further away from the gondola.
And, the 100-mln-dollar question:
'Andy, which are the best value for money developments at present in Bansko?'
To this I would say Grand Montana, Belmont, Belvedere and my home Bansko Royal Towers.
