Sent on 01 January 2017Had a great week over xmas there - Hotel Lion was great, didn't see any lift queues but I did get there early. Easy blues for the most part, not loads for the advanced skier but great for beginners and families. I had more fun here than Chamonix last year at the same time. Bottom line ...manage your expectations... it is more than value for money but don't expect Whistler. -

Sent on 24 February 2008bansko is so overcrowded you will spent most of your hols queing. also they have closed most of the red runs for a race in march with no concideration for paying holiday makers . also the red run to the far right and chair lift do not ever open . it is overgrown and has not been used for 3 years . they are now charging top money like france without the servise . it is a real shame as the people who work at the resort are great and do there best -

Sent on 07 February 2008got back from Bansko on 26/1/08. I went with my husband and my 5 year old daughter who had never been on skis before. We all had a great time and would go back. We only had to queue on the first day for the gondola and this was due to everyone arriving for lift passes ski hire etc. after their welcome meetings, but we were only going on the slopes about 10.30am. We stayed at the Kempinski Grand Arena Hotel and was able to ski to the door. Did not venture out into town as the hotel catered for everyting that we needed. The town is a bit like a building site and foresee problems with queues for lifts etc in the future when all these hotels and apartments are finished. Overall found bansko a good resort especially for beginners -

Sent on 21 December 2007the pistes in bansko are groomed to the standard one would expect in canada or the us certainly better than is often found in french ski resorts...think austrian efficiency ...latest equipment ie no old fashioned paper ski passes all electronic...ski cannons mean all runs including 16 km run back to village always open
