Bansko

Bansko (Bulgarian: Банско [ˈbansko]) is a town in southwestern Bulgaria, located in Blagoevgrad Oblast near the city of Razlog.

More recently Bansko has become a known hotspot for digital nomads driven in part by the relative affordability of the location combined with its natural scenery.

Bansko lies at the foot of the Pirin Mountains, not far from the national park of the same name, in the valley of the Nestos River at an elevation of 925 meters above sea level.

[1] Bulgaria's share in European winter tourism is steadily rising, and Bansko increasingly competes with resorts in France and Switzerland due to the comparatively lower costs.

[2] Improvements to the infrastructure and organisation of the ski area on Todorka have been made annually to accommodate the rising number of tourists.

[3] A gondola lift was built from town in 2003, replacing the minibus ride to the primary base area of Banderishka Poliana.
