About Pamporovo

Pamporovo is one of Bulgaria's most famous ski resorts, along with Bansko and Borovets. Pamporovo is a purpose-built modern ski resort and is the pearl of the beautiful, natural and legendary Rhodope Mountains (the cradle of the mythical singer Orpheus).

The Rhodope Mountains are covered with magnificent pine forests, green meadows and mountain peaks bathed in sun. Pamporovo is 150 miles from Sofia and 50 miles from Plovdiv, Bulgaria's third largest city.

Set amongst magnificent pine forests, Pamporovo offers good quality accommodation, an excellent English speaking ski school and numerous wide tree lined runs, ideal for beginners and intermediates. There has been significant investment in the hotels, restaurants and facilities and the ski area itself. Beginners will progress quickly to the more challenging runs, whilst intermediates will appreciate the updated, efficient lift system. The mountain town of Chepelare has its own selection of bars and restaurants, offering an alternative experience to Pamporovo.
