Pamporovo
Modern Ski Resort in the Heart of the Rhodopi Mountain
Pamporovo is the most southern ski resort in Europe and is the sunniest Bulgarian mountain resort with wonderful snow throughout the whole season. It is 240 kilometres from Sofia and 85 kilometres from Plovdiv and is situated at the foot of peak Snejanka 1926 metres high. Pamporovo has an exclusive climate featuring a soft winter with about 120 sunny days during the skiing period with the season starting from mid - December to mid - April.
You'll find the average air temperature is - 3 ° C and 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 experience for every skiing expert. All major ski runs start from the peak of the mountain, where the TV tower is located and Pamporovo also has great off-piste skiing and snowboarding, however we recommend using a local guide when going off-piste.
