High in the Pirin Mountains are Bulgaria's most famous ski areas: Bansko (

and Borovets (

)
. With the highest pistes starting from 2500m, Bansko is
known for its long, steep runs and extended ski seasons. It's also an international party
scene, offering everything from refined restaurants and spa treatments to crowded bars and
clubs. The slopes at Borovets, north beyond Mt Musala, also top 2500m. While the trails at
this long-established favourite are less challenging, there is plenty of trickier, open terrain
for thrill seekers.
