The elite and prestigious international award, World Ski Awards Gala Ceremony in Kitzbühel, recognized Bansko continuously in
the recent years as an outstanding resort.
By tradition, the prestigious event in Austria’s legendary winter sports destination is attended by handpicked guests
and rewards the very best in the global ski tourism industry with a variety of prizes in few specific categories.
The World Ski Awards winners are unveiled annually, as hundreds of thousands travel professionals, market leaders and skiers
across the globe vote directly for their favourite resorts, chalets and hotels. World Ski Awards is the sister organisation of World
Travel Awards, which is heralded as “the Oscars of the travel industry”.
“Tonight’s winners can take enormous pride – they have been voted the finest in class. – said in 2015 Sion Rapson, Managing
Director of the World Ski Awards. – From here in Austria all the way to Japan, Australia and Canada, our winners represent the
best in ski from every corner of the globe.”
The high value of this recognition puts Bansko in one group with iconic winter sport destinations such as Kitzbühel (Austria),
Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany), Cortina d’Ampezzo (Italy) and Kranjska Gora (Slovenia), to name but a few.
The Pirin mountain town won numerous prizes for “Bulgaria's Best Ski Resort”

Having once visited this charming resort, people keep coming again and again. And there are plenty of reasons for that. Bansko offers a great variety and can satisfy pretty much everyone’s taste – from fans of modern extreme winter sports, to admirers of the authentic.
The town has carefully preserved its old-time charisma – cobblestone streets and hun-dred-year old houses looking like cloisters, with high stone walls and small shuttered win-dows. The list of unique local attractions can go on and on, incliding the aged red wine and the delicious dishes of traditional Bansko cuisine.

For the para-skiers, Bansko also offers a hundred-
percent adrenaline experience. The start is just below
Todorka peak and the final line can be right beside
the first houses of the resort village.
All tracks of the ski resort are kept in perfect
condition, groomed by Kassbohrer maintenance
vehicles round the clock.
200 professional ski instructors are taking care of the
ski training for all visitors of the resort, starting with
the toddlers. Even if you are a complete novice, you
may be sure that by the end of your vacation you’ll
enjoy going down the “Tomba” run!
The rental ski service offers over 3000 ski pairs and
over 1000 snowboards from the latest collections
of Atomic and Salomon, plus a trained staff that will
attend to your every need.
The undisputed pearl of Bansko is the 5-star
Kempinski Hotel Grand Arena hotel which opened
just a few years ago. It is situated opposite the base
station of the Gondola cable lift and is just a ten
minute walk from the town centre. The hotel offers
150 rooms, 15 suites and total of 330 beds, a deluxe
SPA centre, fitness gym, sauna, solarium, massage
parlour, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, plus a
kids’ pool. There is also a 120-seat conference facility
at the hotel.
The best place to recuperate after skiing and fully
relax is the top-rated bar and restaurant ”Happy
End”. Here you can enjoy delicious dishes, taste the
excellent red wine, and… storm the dancing floor.
For those who prefer dining in the genuine atmosphere
of a typical Bansko tavern, there is a choice of more
than… one hundred!
The major source of purity and harmony comes from the
natural might of Pirin mountain. In its majestic slopes
are nestled over 75 kilometres of prime quality ski runs,
kept in perfect condition by 14 maintenance vehicles and
a state-of the art snow system which easily guarantees
skiing for six months – from December to May.
In only a few minutes, a modern Doppelmayr Gondola
ropeway will take you to a total of 75 km well groomed
ski runs of the resort – right in the heart of Pirin
mountain. By the 15 super fast lifts with a total length
of 22 kilometres, you can reach any of the runs for your
skiing pleasure. Access is conveniently controlled by Ski
Data chip cards.
The “Tomba” track is undoubtedly the most attractive,
but also the most challenging in the area. Its qualities
were assessed by the "Godfather" Alberto Tomba
himself, and its excellent characteristics made it a
rеgular host of races from the Audi FIS Alpine Ski
World Cup.
The resort also offers superb conditions for biathlon
and in the past has hosted the European Biathlon
Championship (2007), as well as annual international
biathlon competitions.
Here, you will find tracks to suit every kind of skier – from
absolute beginners to seasoned professionals. All runs
are secured with safety nets by the top safety expert
Kurt Koch. So rest assured – even if uncertain in your
skills, you won’t get hurt. A force of Ski-patrols are also
taking care of the safety of skiers in the area.
One of the most picturesque and beautiful runs of the
resort is “The Plateau”. Right by its side is the Fun Park
for snowboard fans, offering all the extras. No wonder
some starts of the European Snowboarding Cup have
already taken place there.

There are slopes that the greatest ski stars like. And then... there are slopes that they love. Those are in resorts which feel "lucky" and leave them smiling memories for years to come. Just ask 2012 World Cup overall winners Lindsey Vonn and Marcel Hirscher, who - after winning a race in Bansko - went on to collect the big Crystal Globes. Lizzy Goergl, Anja Paerson, Aksel Lund Svindal, Ted Ligety, Lindsey Vonn and Anna Fenninger have filmed special TV ads for Bansko World Cup events.
Some of all-time ski greats are frequent visitors and friends of Bansko. From Alberto Tomba to Marc Girardelli, don’t be surprised if you see a legendary champion of the white sport sitting next to you in the restaurant or relaxing in the stylish lobby of Kempinski Hotel Grand Arena Bansko.

“Sopranos Ristorante” is one of the newest and hottest spots in
Bansko, attracting many lovers of the Italian cuisine. Situated on
the second floor of the popular Happy End bar, it’s literally one
step away from the base station of the Gondola lift.
An excellent place to recharge your batteries after a hard day of
skiing or hiking is the “VIP Room” restaurant, offering the best of
Bulgarian and European cuisine. The gorgeous view of the mountain
comes as a bonus, so make sure you book a table in advance!
Cucina Italiana – right on the snow!
180 degrees is a typical Italian restaurant and bar with unique location
at the cross point of four ski runs! No matter which run you come
down from, you'll always find the best pizza and savory Italian dishes
prepared by Cheff Mirko. Trust us, the creamy dessert is a must!
www.banskoski.com www.banskoski.com24 25
Bansko offers its guests a unique 16-kilometer uninterrupted ski run with a vertical drop of 1600 m, starting from Todorka peak at the highest point of the skiing centre, all the way down to the base station of the gondola lift at the outskirts of town. The last 7 km of the slope are lighted and you may enjoy the excitement of night skiing two times a week.
Bansko is a fast developing destination for a wide variety of ski disciplines. For example, the modern shooting range at 1,500 m above sea level at Banderishka polyana is a centre for training and competitions in cross-country skiing, ski orientation and biathlon. This was the venue for IBU European Biathlon Championship in 2007 and in 2013.
Also enjoy Bansko's large and modern outdoor ice skating rink, even after dark. Ice skate with friends and family and inhale the crisp, fresh mountain air.
