You grow at the speed of the people around you.
Most of us only know the life our surroundings allow. We rarely see what becomes possible in different company, because we've never been in it.
Put yourself among people who build, train, learn and share, and things start moving. The idea you've been sitting on gets started. A habit sticks because someone expects you at 07:00. The question you've carried for months gets answered over dinner.
The people I meet here seek this kind of community wherever they go. They choose a place for the people they find there, far more than for the place itself.
For many of them, and for me, that place is Bansko.
Uwe Allgäuer, Bansko
Every week, all year
Anywhere can give you a great weekend once a year. Bansko gives you good company week after week, in every season.
The people
Founders, remote workers, creators and curious minds from all over the world, many staying for months or years.
The place
A walkable old town below the Pirin mountains. Skiing and hiking, gyms, cafés, hot springs, all within a few minutes.

Life here runs week to week, all year. You arrive on any day and something is already happening.
