About Bansko
Bansko lies under the north-eastern slopes of the Pirin Mountains, on the southern edge of theRazlogValley created by the meeting point of three mountain ranges - Rila and Pirin to the west and the Rhodope Mountains to the east. The town's official altitude is925m (3,035ft)above sea level, and its permanent population is about 9 thousand. While Bansko has been a ski resort since the Communist era, a boom in international visitors developed in the 2000s. As a result, the place is heavily covered in hotels and other establishments catering to tourists; real estate speculation is another thriving business. Since the 2010s, the town has also attracted a lot of foreign "digital nomads", a group with less seasonal variation. Peak season in Bansko is in winter starting approximately mid-December.
