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.

Queuing is rare due to a new up-to-date system allowing 11,600 persons per hour on the slopes. For the snowboarders there is a new 100m long half-pipe run, which together with the LED-lighted night run complement the ski magic

Your Pamporovo lift pass will also give you access to the slopes at Chepelare resort with a free shuttle bus service to take you between the resorts. Chepelare, lying in a small valley at the heart of the Rhodopi Mountain, just 10 km from Pamporovo offers ski runs that vary in difficulty from green to black as well as the longest ski run in Bulgaria. A high-speed quad lift connects the town with the Mechi Chal peak while a few smaller drag lifts are also available to the skiers on the slopes.
