Pamporovo

Widely regarded as the most 'upmarket' ski resort in Bulgaria, Pamporovo offers wonderful skiing coupled with stunning scenery and excellent 'apres ski'.  One day on the slopes of Pamporovo is enough to give you a nice golden tan.  There are more than 120 sunny days and an average snow layer of 140-150 cm.  ... and the temperature never falls below -7 ^oC.

The climate in winter is moderate/mild with a Mediterranean influence.  Typically this region does not suffer from abrupt changes in weather conditions; there is no danger of an avalanche guaranteeing the tranquillity and safety of your vacation. 

If you are a novice, the ski-school in Pamporovo is one of the best in Europe.  Highly qualified instructors, speaking at least two foreign languages, train the beginners, in groups or individually.  Specialists can also help become an accomplished snow-boarder.

The Pamporovo resort is recommended by the experts as a good place both for beginners and for experienced skiers.  The 16 ski runs cover all degrees of difficulty.  There are also three cross-country runs.

In the 9 ski-wardrobes near the tracks, you can find over 2000 ski outfits and equipment, snow-boards and sleighs.  Skiers who bring their own equipment can also use these wardrobes for safe keeping.

The mountain rescue service works 24 hours a day, taking care of the security of the skiers.  The ski-kindergarten is open from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.
