Pamporovo, now Bulgaria's elite ski resort has been well received by British ski
tourists who are looking for a great value ski trip which is vastly cheaper than
going to France, Austria or Switzerland, and also a more culturally exotic
destination. The fact that Pamporovo is now a well marketed and well known
ski resort which is frequently featured in the ski press and national papers
means that more and more skiers and snowboarders are heading out there.
Tourist agents from Pamporovo have announced that the
resort will open the new season in mid-December; the first chartered flights will
arrive a few days later - after 20 December. New facilities, recultivated pistes
and a lot of new complexes are awaiting the tourists. In Pamporovo the official
start of the season will be on 15 December.
The price of a one-day ski pass in Pamporovo will be the same as last year
BGN 50. Discount will be given to regular clients.
In Pamporovo a large investment has been made in the construction of a new
6-seat lift for a distance of nearly 3km between Stoykite and Mt. Snezhanka.
Its capacity will be 2000 people per hour. The total length of the pistes in
Pamporovo is 25km. The resort's accommodation capacity will be by 50% higher
compared to last year.
