5* Premier Resort, Bansko, Bulgaria1 week, adult ski/snowboard holiday (2 nights half board, 5 nights B&B)

The Premier Luxury Mountain Resort is located at the foothills of the majestic Pirin Mountain, Bansko is one of the most popular winter resorts for skiing, snowboarding, mountain thrills or just plain relaxation, in Europe.

Bansko is a small resort suitable for all levels but is particularly tailored to beginners and improvers as at this level you don’t need a large ski area and lessons are almost a quarter of the price than in the Alpes. If you are of a good skier you can cover the area in a day but there is also a benefit to this as you can really get to know you way around quickly and remember where your favorite runs and jumps are.

The marked ski pistes are in total approximately 70 km in length. Transportation options within the ski center include a three-seat lift, a new 6 seater, 7 drags and 10 baby drags.

The ski center boasts slalom and giant slalom runs as well as a 5 km cross-country track.
