Its beauty and natural treasures – thousand years old forests, mountain lakes, mighty peaks, thermal springs, wild berries make of it a peace of paradise on earth. In summer it is sunny and quiet and it is a perfect place for a break from the city madness, connection with nature and self-discovery. Bansko provides all the tools to achieve a perfect balance of active and passive aspects of energy. We encourage our guests to maintain this balance by combining physical activity and relaxation practices.
