Where We Invest - Bansko

Bansko is a town in southwestern Bulgaria, located at the foot of Pirin Mountain at an altitude of 925 m above sea level. It is south from Sofia on 161 km and southeast from Blagoevgrad on 59 km with both of which it is well connected in terms of transport utilities: roads, buses, taxis, etc. The population is 10,127.

Bansko is one of the fastest growing Bulgarian winter resorts with a growing influence in the summer tourism industry as well. The average number of visiting tourists exceeds 130, 000 people including a massive number of foreigners (English, Dutch, Scandinavian, Russian, American).

A new gondola lift was built in 2003 to replace a minibus ride up to the ski slopes of Todorka Peak. Several other gondolas and ski lifts were built as well. These developments, along with the construction of extensive housing and recreational facilities around the gondola, have made Bansko a popular and growing tourist destination.
