Chalet Orbelus, Bulgaria's first fully catered ski chalet, is a recently renovated chalet offering panoramic views of the Pirin, Rila and Rhodope mountain ranges, situated at the south end of Bansko, approximately 700m from the gondola and about 10 minutes walk from the town centre. Owned and operated by Simon, Joy and Allan Applebee, we offer a chalet that is a home from home. It is ideal for family groups, but smaller groups are most welcome.

The comfortably furnished lounge with a central open, wood burning fire, also houses a TV, video player, Playstation 2 (some games are available), DVD player (which can also be used as a karaoke), along with a selection of DVDs, karaoke DVDs and videos.
