A town in the south-western area of Bulgaria, Bansko is a popular ski resort which serves the Pirin Mountains with a population of just over 13,000 people. Recently host to the FIS world cup champion Ski Race in 2009, it's also due to host events in 2012, including the men's giant slalom. The town has its own ice rink in the centre for those who prefer something more sedate than a downhill hurtle, and Pirin National Park is UNESCO recognised, making it a beautiful area for hiking in the summer.
