Pamporovo
is a modern ski resort in the heart of the Rhodopi
mountain, the mountain of the mythical singer Orpheus.
It is the most southern skiing resort in Europe. It is
the sunniest Bulgarian mountain resort with wonderful
snow throughout the whole season. Pamporovo is situated
on 1650 m above the sea level at the foot of peak
Snejanka (1926 m). It is 240 km far from Sofia and 85 km
from Plovdiv.
Pamporovo has an exclusive climate featuring a soft
winter with about 120 sunny days during the skiing
period. The significant influence of The Aegean Sea
appears here and the skiing season starts from mid -
December to mid - April. The average air temperature is
- 3 ° C. The gentle profile of the mountain with its
rounded slopes and summits makes Pamporovo particularly
suitable for beginners. But there are also difficult ski
runs like the Giant Slalom run which is an excellent
exercise for every skiing expert.
All ski runs are safe guarded and maintained in a very
good condition. More than 100 highly qualified ski
instructors fluent in different languages are here to
teach both beginners and intermediate skiers and
snowboarders. Ski rentals are available near the ski
runs and the lift stations, you can book ski equipment
rental, ski school, lift pass with us.
The
ski runs
in Pamporovo come in all hardship levels. They are
located between 1926 and 1450 m above the sea level on
the northern, eastern and western slopes of The Snejanka
peak.
The most difficult ski piste is "The Wall". All major
ski runs start from the peak of the mountain, where the
TV tower is located.
Great off-piste skiing and snowboarding is available in
