With a long season running from December to April, Bansko is among Europe's most advanced ski resorts, with a snow cannon maintaining the quality of the 65 km of marked pistes that complement the unlimited unmarked routes. Also a popular destination for hiking, mountain-biking and white-water rafting, the unspoilt beauty of its mountain, lake and alpine forest scenery has led to the formation of a number of UNESCO national parks. By the summer of 2008, Bansko will also be home to its 1st 18-hole golf course, designed by pro golfer Ian Woosnam.
