Lift pass prices in one of Bulgaria’s most popular winter resorts Bansko will increase by 10%-15%, Ivan Obreykov, Marketing Director of the Bankso Ski Area said for Radio Blagoevgrad of the BNR. This is due to the higher prices of electricity and fuels. Tourists will not be required to present a green certificate to access the gondola lift.

The winter tourist season in Bansko will open officially on December 18. “The snow cannons are expected to start functioning earlier, but at this point the weather is still warm", Ivan Obreykov went on to say.
