Pamporovo is open: normal access from Plovdiv and Sofia, confirmed by the Ministry of TourismGetting here

Winter 2026/27

Pamporovo, the sunniest ski resort

The Studenets lift within walking distance, 270 sunny days a year, and a hotel where a warm pool and a home-cooked dinner wait after the slopes.

The slopes

Wake, eat, walk to the lift

Bellevue sits within walking distance of the Studenets lift — no car, no bus, no waiting. Pamporovo is the soft, sunny ski mountain: wide pistes, excellent ski schools, and a March that skis better than you expect.

After the slopes

The second half of a ski day

You walk back, drop the boots, and the other half begins: pool, sauna, fireplace and a dinner cooked like at home — all included in the rate. The first child under 12 stays free on direct requests.

For beginners & families

The home of Bulgarian ski schools

Pamporovo is where Bulgaria learns to ski: wide, gentle pistes with no terrifying walls, and a decades-old ski-school tradition. At Studenets, about 300 m from the hotel, the schools and rental points operate — you book a lesson, rent your skis and start on some of the most forgiving pistes in the country. It is where we send our own first-timer friends.

The late season

March: Pamporovo’s sunny secret

Pamporovo’s main pistes face north and hold their snow into spring, while the resort is among Bulgaria’s sunniest mountains — around 270 sunny days a year. That is why March here skis surprisingly well: firm snow in the morning, mild sun in the afternoon, calmer pistes after the holiday peaks. The season usually runs from mid-December to mid-April.
