Bansko

The Pirin Mountains define the setting of Bansko — their northern foothills place the town between a high alpine massif and the broad Razlog Valley. Bansko is Bulgaria’s leading winter-sports centre, while its compact old quarter preserves stone houses and churches from the National Revival era. The town is also the birthplace of Neofit Rilski, the 19th-century educator and monk associated with the development of modern Bulgarian schooling. Above town, Pirin National Park protects a rugged mountain world of forests, lakes and granite ridges and is listed by UNESCO.
