You can walk here from the apartment. Very steep in parts but a nice walk in the mountain.

Accessible by car only before 0900 and after 1600. If not you have to park about a mile further down the mountain. You can cycle up to it all day though and I recommend trying it. Stunning views.

Conseils sur la ville

Voyage avec des enfants

Ski child care

Ulen have a creche opposite the top gondola station. You can pay in advance or on the day. They take kids up to 7 years old from 0900 - 1600. They give them lunch and take them out for a basic ski lesson (ulen provide equipment). I recall it is 60leva per child, per day as of 2019.
Ne manquez pas

Bansko old town

An absolute must is the old town in Bansko. Loads of lovely restaurants and a really nice chilled vibe.
