Bansko, Bulgaria

Snow business




#the Pirin Mountains


MUCH noise has been made about Bulgarians heading to the UK this year. Far less has been said about Brits heading to Bulgaria – in particular those bound for the Horizon Festival at the edge of the Pirin Mountains. The latest in a growing number of snow-music festivals across Europe, this week-long event involves stellar performers from the dance and electronic scene playing at a variety of venues – from stages in snowy forests to cellar-like nightclubs. Daylight hours see festival goers skiing and snowboarding along the 45 miles of runs that make up the Bansko ski resort, with thermal pools on hand to revitalize weary limbs.

Horizon Festival runs from 8-14 March. A six-night package including a festival ticket, a five-day ski pass for the BAnsko Ski Resort and accommodation in a local four-star hotel stars (horizonfestival.net). 


Wizz Air flies to the Bulgarian capital Sofia from Luton, while easyjet flies from London Stansted, London Gatwick and Manchester. Horizon is able to arrange transfers direct to the festival from Sofia and from the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv-visit the website for more details.
