How to get from Sofia Airport to Bansko

Bansko is about 160 km south of Sofia Airport. The drive takes 2.5–3 hours on the Struma motorway and then the mountain road through Razlog, and longer after heavy snow. There is no direct train, so most skiers choose a shared shuttle or a private transfer. Some companies also pick up from Plovdiv Airport and from Thessaloniki and Kavala airports in Greece.

Winter tips for Bansko transfers

Saturday is changeover day in Bansko, so book early for January and February. Check that your driver uses winter tyres and carries chains, and that ski bags are included. Ask whether the price includes waiting if your flight is late, and where you will be dropped off: some shuttles stop near the gondola, others go to your hotel door.
