Bansko

Pirin skiing, thermal springs down the road, and a winter remote-work scene.

Bansko is a Pirin ski resort with a national park above it, a stone-built old quarter, and thermal springs at nearby Banya. Its cost base has made it one of Europe’s larger winter remote-work destinations, which gives the town an off-slope life most resorts this size do not have.
