Avantgarde Ski is a ski and snowboard rental in Bansko; our new shop at Stragite 2 is about 100 m from the gondola lift station – a minute or two on foot. Open 08:00–18:00 every day in season. You collect your equipment at the shop, and overnight ski storage is included, so you can leave skis and boots with us after skiing and walk to the gondola with nothing to carry in the morning. Skis, poles and boots from €18 a day; book online and pay when you pick up.
Stragite 2, Bansko 2770 (open in Google Maps).

Hotels around the gondola (Kempinski Grand Arena, Royal Towers, Cedar Lodge, Downtown Bansko) are a few minutes on foot. From the gondola, cross the street and the small bridge to the gondola car park – the shop is right there.
