BULGARIA: Bansko Skiing + Plovdiv, Sofia & Rila Monastery!

In January I headed to Bansko Bulgaria to learn to Ski, I wasn't great at skiing but I had an amazing time as it's such a stunning region, with snow falling amongst the epic mountains in winter. Another bonus of visiting Bulgaria in winter is how quiet some of the main tourist destinations are, such as Plovdiv, Sofia and Rila Monastery.

The great thing about Bansko is the resort caters for all levels. While there are plenty of easy slopes, and a big lesson area near the main restaurants, it also has a couple of blacks and this year played host to the AUDI FIS Woman’s World Cup, so even as a non-Skier I read that as a sign of quality. While there was some natural snowfall during my visit, I was there at the start of the season, and the powder guns were fired up to ensure the pistes were perfect daily.

So how affordable is Bansko? Well, to give you some ideas, Snomads (https://www.snomads.co.uk/) who I arranged my accommodation with after they invited me to stay with them have private rooms from £200-£400, depending on the time of the season, and also offer their chalets for private hire, which is ideal if you have a group who want to get away together.
