An adventurous life in the mountains of Bulgaria

The charm of the Bansko region

The Razlog Valley, located between the Pirin and Rila Mountains, is one of the most beautiful areas in Bulgaria. Here you will find a rare combination of adventure, culture and tranquillity.

In winter, you can ski or snowboard on the slopes of Bansko or Dobrinishte, and in summer, you can hike or cycle through green valleys or along mountain lakes, or relax in natural thermal baths.

The nearby villages, such as Dobrinishte, Banya and Razlog, retain their authentic character with hospitable residents.

More sun, less stress

With an average of 300 sunny days a year, you can enjoy a pleasant continental climate here.
Warm summers, white winters and beautiful autumns and springs make for four distinct seasons, each with its own charm.

Food from your own garden, clean air, invigorating silence and nature always close by.

Whether you are sitting on a terrace in the sun or taking a walk in the mountains or woods, the tranquillity of the mountains will naturally bring balance to your life.

Culture, traditions and gastronomy

The region exudes Bulgarian culture and tradition. Village festivals, folk dances and local markets are still part of everyday life here.
Discover homemade products such as banitsa, kavarma, rakia, wine and fresh cheeses, often prepared with local ingredients.

The region also has a lively cultural calendar with events such as the Bansko Jazz Festival, many Bulgarian dance and music festivals in Dobrinishte, Razlog and Bansko, and sporting highlights such as the FIS Ski World Cup and the Pirin Ultra Marathon.

An international community in Bansko
