Snow, slopes and weather right now
Bansko
Bansko lies at the foot of the northern Pirin Mountains, at 927 m above sea level. Pirin National Park begins just outside the town, and the Glazne river runs through it.
The climate is alpine and the snow cover usually lasts from December to April. The steep Pirin slopes give excellent conditions for professional and recreational skiing. Bansko is also a stop on the Septemvri – Dobrinishte narrow-gauge railway.
The webcams show Banderishka polyana, Shiligarnika, the Plateau, Chalin Valog, Todorka peak and the gondola base station.
The old town
Bansko is not only a ski resort but also a town with a rich history. The old town has the Velyanova House with murals by Velyan Ognev, Holy Trinity church and the house-museums of Neofit Rilski and Nikola Vaptsarov. Taverns serving local Bansko food are part of the atmosphere.
Summer in Pirin
In summer Bansko is the starting point for Vihren hut, Vihren peak (2914 m) – the highest in Pirin – the ancient Baykusheva pine and the Pirin lakes. Every August the town hosts the International Jazz Festival. Dobrinishte with its mineral baths and Razlog are nearby.
Ski season
The season usually runs from mid-December to mid-April. The gondola goes from the town to Banderishka polyana, where the main slopes begin. On peak days the queue at the bottom station can be long – the camera there is the easiest way to decide when to go.
How to get there
By car: Sofia – Bansko about 150 km, Plovdiv – Bansko about 150 km, Thessaloniki – Bansko about 220 km. The nearest airport is Sofia.

Why is a camera sometimes not working?
The cameras belong to their owners. We check them automatically and hide the ones that are down, so you only see working cameras here. When all cameras in a place stop, we show the nearest working ones.
