Ski holidays in Pamporovo - Bulgaria

Most of Pamporovo's ski runs descend from the top of the mountain and are suitable for all ability levels, although beginners and intermediates will find the most to do here. The ski area is linked to the hotels and village by a regular shuttle bus which is efficient but can get full before the last pick up in either direction at busy times. Ski runs descend from beneath the imposing television tower at 1925m down to 1450m - a 475m maximum vertical which does not compare with the Alps but is adequate for most. Runs descend through the forested north, east and west slopes of mount Snejanka. A new quad lift from the resort to Studenets replaced an old single man lift that was operating there, greatly increasing uplift efficiency. It's a great resort for beginners on several levels. Firstly there's the sunshine and snow record, secondly two thirds of the trails are graded easy and third and most important, the ski school is one of the most highly regarded in Europe. Highly qualified instructors, each speaking at least two foreign languages, train beginners, in groups or individually.

Intermediate skiers have the longest runs including number five, down to Ardashla at 3.1km (two miles) in length. The most difficult run is "The Wall", one of two blacks at the area, a steep and challenging mogul field. There is also good off-piste skiing when conditions are right and plenty of expert guides to show it to you. There are three cross-country runs in Pamporovo with 25km of trails in total.

There are also no less than nine ski rental and storage locations around the base of the slopes.
