The compact
ski resort of Pamporovo has
38 kilometres of marked ski runs accessible by two six skier chairlifts, three four skier chairlifts, a two skier chairlift and a one skier chairlifts plus various drag lifts. There is also
25 kms of cross country trails which combine with the downhill skiing to make
Pamporovo ski resort a great choice for your skiing holiday.
Your lift pass also gives you access to Chepelare ski resort, just 10 kms from Pamporovo. This is an impossibly beautiful little resort with just under 3 kms of skiing served by a four skier and a two skier chairlfts. We do recommend to Chepelare while you're on your skiing holiday to Pamporovo.
After a great day's skiing

bars and clubs. For those wanting to sample a bit of true Bulgarian life, head to one of the many
local folk restaurants to try the local specialties accompanied by some popular Bulgarian wine.

The more advanced skiers will no doubt enjoy the 'The Wall' - the famous World Cup Downhill run as well as the 3,000 m long Mechi Chal ski slope near Chepelare.
