About Pamporovo

Pamporovo is one of the best known mountain resorts in Bulgaria, and, indeed, is one of the most southerly skiing resorts in Europe. Pamporovo is situated at an altitude of 1650 metres, or just over 5,400 feet, in the Rhodope, or Rodopi (in Bulgarian), Mountains. The highest peak in the region is Snejanka, at a height of just over 1,900 metres, or 6,200 feet; despite the altitude, and the presence of snow for between 150 and 200 days of the year, the climate here is surprisingly mild, with an average annual temperature of 8.5 degrees Celsius.

Pamporovo Ski School is renowned, internationally, for the quality of instruction – in skiing and snowboarding – provided by experienced, English speaking instructors. The Ski School is located just a few minutes from the centre of Pamporo, in close proximity to the nursery slopes. Skiing and snowboarding lessons take place for four hours a day, six days a week. Once you are ready for more of a challenge, or are already an intermediate level skier, or snowboarder, you can take a chairlift up to the top of Snejanka peak, where 20km, or 12 miles, of suitable ski runs await. For the ultimate challenge – for advanced level skiers and snowboarders – you can take a drag lift to `The Wall`, the most demanding run in the resort, or the slightly less demanding, but nevertheless difficult, `Snejanka` piste.

Whatever your level of ability, you will find that ski runs in Pamprovo are well maintained, and in good condition. The resort is also well served by a network of ski lifts – 5 chair, and 9 drag, lifts – providing fast and comfortable access to the ski runs, without overcrowding, or excessive queuing.
