Bansko Ski Resort — Best Ski Resort in Bulgaria 2025
Bansko Ski Resort has been recognised as the Best Ski Resort in Bulgaria for 2025. Bansko celebrates an impressive achievement as three major honors from the World Ski Awards 2025 make their way to the resort. The charming mountain town beneath Todorka Peak in the Pirin Mountains has been crowned “Bulgaria’s Best Ski Resort” for the 13th year in a row.
At the same prestigious event, Kempinski Hotel Grand Arena Bansko earned the title “Bulgaria’s Best Ski Hotel 2025,” reaffirming its position as a top luxury destination for winter tourism. Another recognition goes to Diana Ross, selected as “Bulgaria’s Best Ski Chalet 2025.” Meanwhile, the award for “Bulgaria’s Best Ski Boutique Hotel 2025” was presented to Hotel Alpin in Borovets.
The 2025 edition of the World Ski Awards was conducted online from June 23 to October 10 at worldskiawards.com. Regarded as one of the most comprehensive and internationally recognised surveys in the ski tourism industry, the voting process features anonymous participation from a wide range of stakeholders — including ski industry professionals, travel experts, tour operators, agency representatives, media, and active winter sports enthusiasts.
Because of this broad and trusted voting base, the World Ski Awards are frequently described as the “Oscars of tourism,” a nickname that underlines their prestige and the awards’ standing within the global winter-sports community.
Why Bansko was named the Best Ski Resort in Bulgaria
Bansko’s win as the Best Ski Resort in Bulgaria reflects continued investment in piste maintenance, efficient gondolas and lift systems, and an improved guest experience across the resort. The area offers over 70 km of marked slopes, reliable snowmaking from early December through April, and terrain suitable for beginners, intermediates and experts alike. Visitors also praise Bansko for its value—excellent ski facilities at a fraction of the cost of many Alpine resorts.
