PAMPOROVO

The resort of Pamporovo has a unique claim to fame – this bright, modern ski resort high in the Rhodope mountains is the sunniest mountain resort in Europe. Pamporovo boasts on average no less than 270 sunny days a year and in the winter provides an ideal combination – plenty of snow and sparkling sunshine to show off the resort at its best. Pamporovo holidays are particularly suited for both beginners and intermediates, however Pamporovo's Giant Slalom run will ensure that any experts are more than happy.

This compact resort has 35 kilometres of marked ski runs, accessible by a combination of chair and drag lifts, including a 6 man chairlift and 38 kilometres of cross country trails, making Pamporovo holidays a great choice for any ski addicts. After a great day's skiing the après-ski in Pamporovo is fun and inexpensive with lively bars and disco's waiting to welcome you in. For those wanting to sample a bit of true Bulgarian life, head to one of the many local folk restaurants to try the local specialities accompanied by some popular Bulgarian wine.
