The world famous German alpinist Reinhold Messner, the first man that conquered all 14 peaks over 8 000, situated in the Himalayas and the Karakoram Mountains, will visit Bansko by the end of November. Messner will visit the ski centre Bansko before the official opening of the ski season. He will also participate in the jury of the Festival of the Alpine Film.
