Búlgaría: Dobrinishte Resort Gains Ground on Bansko

Dobrinishte resort has been attracting investor and tourist interest in recent years. Some see it as an alternative to the front-runner Bansko because of its reduced construction and the ski zone just above the resort, which includes a 5 km long piste - starting from Bezbog chalet and passing by Gotse Delchev lodge – as well as a two-seat lift and a number of drag-lifts.

Real estate agency analysts report a considerable interest in Dobrinishte over the last year. The resort offers the opportunity to develop active winter tourism and explore the mineral springs' potential. Plans are afoot to erect a large ski area in Dobrinishte, encompassing new ski-runs, tourist tracks and a hotel. The developers vowed not to allow massive construction in the resort.
