  1. what us weather like from around March 6 in Bansko town? Is there any snow and is it likely to be raining.
    What is available for non-skiers? Is there any ice-skating and if so are skates available for hire.

      Hello, as it looks this winter we are going to have a lot of snow =) Normally in March we have snow, not rain. For non-skiers you can try horse riding, snow shoeing, you can also do a one day trip to Rila Monastery. The region of Bansko is well known with its thermal spring, so you can enjoy a lovely day in the nearby village of Bania, visiting the hot springs there.
