Bansko to host Freeride World Tour 2026 event

Bansko, a ski resort in southwestern Bulgaria, will host an event from the Freeride World Tour 2026 series for a fifth consecutive year.

Around 150 athletes from around the globe are expected to participate, including juniors competing in the Freeride World Tour Junior 3 category.

The starting point will be at an altitude of 2,746 metres on Mount Todorka in the Pirin Mountains, where freeriders will compete in this prestigious stage of the tour.

As in previous years, the country's highest fan zone will be set up near the upper stations of the Plato and Banderitsa 2 lifts, at an altitude of 2,550 metres, offering a clear view of the entire slope.

The event will take place at the resort from 20 to 22 March.
