THE STORY BEHIND THE EXPERIENCE
FROM BULGARIA TO AN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
For 11 years, Takeover Ski has brought people together through professionally organised mountain experiences in Bansko.
What began in Bulgaria has grown into an international community welcoming thousands of guests from the UK, Bulgaria and beyond.
Working alongside established Bulgarian partners with more than 50 years of ski-industry expertise, we combine trusted local knowledge with the energy, organisation and community that define every Takeover.
Takeover Ski’s 11-year history is distinct from the 50+ years of specialist experience contributed by our Bulgarian partners.
