Bulgaria Summer holidays.......spend a relaxing Summer Holiday in Bansko Bulgaria

Bansko is renound for it's skiing, however a little known secret is that in the Summer it becomes a glorious destination for hiking, mountain biking and as a superb location which offers a different type of Bulgaria Summer holiday to the traditional beach holiday.

Things to do on your Bulgarian Summer Holiday

Hiking......

Viren Hut nestles about 2000m above sea level below the imposing Mount Virin, the highest mountain in the Pirin Range at 2914m above sea level. Viren Hut is the staging point for the good walker or climber to take a 2 hour moderate difficulty walks to several beautiful mountain lakes or 6 hour hikes for the more experienced walkers and climbers.

"Beautiful Mountain Lakes"

Throughout the range of peaks above Bansko there are no fewer than a dozen whose summits are over 2600m above sea level. Bansko itself sits at about 900m above sea level.

There are lifts up from the town of Bansko to a station 30 minutes steady walk from Viren Hut. Mostly all the lifts serve the Winter Tourist, because primarily Bansko is the Premier Bulgarian Winter Resort.

Hiking tours are provided by Intersport, to visit their webpage, click here.

A barbecue picnic in the mountains.....

Take a leisurely ride on the new gondola cable car lift from the outskirts of town up to the end station. The views going up to the top station from the gondolas are breathtaking. Once you have reached the top station take a walk through the beautiful pine forests along mountain streams to the picnic site very close to a 3 star hotel nestling high up the mountain.

Your guides will prepare the barbecue lunch set in amongst the pine trees. Freshly cooked food and salad, with liberal measures of wine or beer, perfect.

After the lunch and a brief rest, take the option of a 1.5 hour walk back to Bansko or travel back with your Guides by mini-bus.

"Views from the Gondola"

Walk along the river Glazne...

Most of the tourists who visit Bansko won't end up at the river Glazne. Why should they!? This place is a 150 meters from the Nikolai Vaptsorov place, and not a sight were all tourist operators will stop. Yet, if you have time its nice to walk along the river. There are from the center two streets that go to the Glazne, that is the Tsar Simeon street and the Garibaldi street. Sitting at the banks of the river you get another view on Bansko.

Mountain Biking...

Why not explore Bansko and surroundings by mountain bike? The surroundings are beautiful and by bike you can see so much more of it!

You can hire mountain bikes at Intersport and Hotel Bansko. (addresses, respectively: Pirin street 71 and Glazne street 37). Phone: 07443-4876 (Intersport) /
