About Bansko in the Press 2007-10-15 12:01:00 Bansko: Eastern Europe’s answer to Aspen. So runs the hyperbole about one of Europe’s newest ski resorts. It’s a buzz that the resort’s developers are understandably keen to perpetuate. Millions of euros are being spent transforming this small Bulgarian town, which lies three long, lacklustre hours from the country’s capital, Sofia, into something Brad and Angelina might head for when in Europe and desperate for powder.
Unsurprisingly, given the hype, Bansko’s property market has been undergoing a boom. Brits are pouring their pension plans into buying up cheap ski apartments in anticipation that it willbecome another Val d’Isere once Bulgaria joins the EU in 2007. With prices from around £20,000 it’s not hard to see why investors are joining the gold rush. ‘I missed out on Croatia, but I won’t make the same mistake with Bulgaria,’ declare one British couple with almost evangelicalzeal in a property brochure.
