The town of Bansko is of national significance, and is visited also in summer as a starting point for excursions in the mountain.
Surrounded by the Pirin, Rila and Rhodopi Mountains, Bansko is a climatic mountain resort with a short hot summer and long mild winter. The average temperature during January, the coldest month, is - 1.9 oC. Snow falls are abundant, providing a constant winter snow cover up to 2 m thick. The skiing season along the Pirin slopes starts in the middle of December and ends in mid-April.
To add to the all year round tourist potential in Razlog and Bansko there is an Ian Woosnam designed Golf Course being developed, which is due to open in the coming months.
