Description - Luxury Catered Ski Chalets in Bansko, Bulgaria
Boarding Bansko is a friendly independent ski company offering catered ski chalet holidays based in the up and coming ski resort Bansko, Bulgaria.
We aim to provide you with a warm and relaxing atmosphere allowing you to fully enjoy every moment of your time with us.
We opened our first Chalet, Chalet Soltir, in 2006 and our aim then still carries through to today; "To provide the highest quality, most affordable catered ski holidays in Europe."
We select our accommodation based on their individuality and character. Check out Apartment Soltir if you are a smaller group looking for self catered accommodation. Please use the links above to explore more about the Chalets, Bansko and how to book you holiday.
Chalet Soltir was built in 1869 and renovated to a high standard in 2006 maintaining a traditional alpine style with a twist; exposed beams and wood flooring throughout.
* Chalet Soltir has 4 bedrooms all with traditional wooden beams sleeping a total of 12 people; 2 family rooms of 4 and 2 twin/double rooms. Each room has all you'd expect; two pillows per person, thick fluffy towels, hair dryers in each room and L'Occitane products in the bathrooms for you to use.
* When you arrive in the chalet we will welcome you with hot mulled wine, a selection of nibbles and a guide to Bansko to get you started off on the right foot.
* We supply a hearty cooked breakfast with eggs, tomatoes, fresh bread with conserves, cereals, tea and coffee. Afternoon tea is also served daily with a freshly baked cake, tea and coffee.
* For the evening meal (included in the 'Fully Catered' price) we serve a substantial three course dinner made from fresh local seasonal produce. With dinner we serve a free selection of Bulgarian wines and beers for you to try.
* You can chill out in the cosy lounge complete with a wood burning stove, plasma TV, WiFi, a Nintendo Wii/Xbox and board games to keep you entertained.
* We're only a minute's stroll from the old town and 10 minutes from the gondola, however our dedicated private minibus can run you up to the gondola anytime!
* We have a boot and board/ski room to keep your skis safe. We also have a boot drying room.
* We can organise a nanny to baby-sit your children if you fancy a night out in the town of Bansko.

Area Description: Bansko is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is a working town not a purpose built ski resort giving it a real charm
It also has the best snow record and the longest ski season in Bulgaria (1st Dec - mid April). It has 75k of pistes and a fun park for both skiers and boarders sporting jumps and rails (not for the faint hearted!)
The ski slopes are groomed every night and snow cannons keep a fresh guaranteed layer of snow on the pistes throughout the season. And with brand new fast Doppelmayr lifts installed throughout the resort (imported from Austria) you won't be getting stuck in any lift queues.
The highest peak is 2900m with 'a ton of off piste' to explore amongst many tall Alpine trees reminiscent of the Rockies. There are also a great number of ski runs to suit both beginners and experts with a final run into town providing a gentle ski home at the end of the day.

The ski schools in Bulgaria are famously good and cheap and we can help you organise group lessons or one on one tuition.
There are over 150 restaurants, known as mahanas, to explore in Bansko which are all very inexpensive by Western European standards. The food is both delicious and traditional. A typical three course meal with a bottle of wine for two costs around £20. All central restaurants and bars are around a 2/3 min walk from our chalet.
In our welcome meeting we will suggest some yummy traditional dishes with you and point out some of the better restaurants in town if you are not taking advantage of our ‘Fully Catered' accommodation.
Away from the pistes:
For those who fancy a morning off the slopes there is a wealth of fashion, souvenir and of course ski and snowboarding shops to choose from. You can also treat yourself at one of the top spas or even relax at the natural hot spring. In the Pirin Mountains there is also range of activities to keep you entertained from paragliding, horse riding and quad biking to skidooing with the choice of ice skating or bowling to enjoy in the evening.
