Go to the gondola lift KIOSK. Open Thursday to Saturday between 08:30 and 23:00 (well, we await info on this point) and Sunday to Wednesday 08:30 to 16:30.

If your pass is for more than a day, then you’ll need everyone in your group to be there. They take a digital photo taken at booth. You can buy your pass anytime the previous day to be valid for the next day.

Purchase full travel insurance before travelling to Bansko. Checking the small print is essential.
