Pamporovo Reviews

Fabulous skiing for me and my daughter. Ski school was essential for us, fantastic instructors. The slopes were perfect for us to learn on and the instructors pushed us to be brave. The bars and restaurants on the mountain were great and fabulous value. The hotel food needs to improve. Always luke warm and not alot of variety. Hotel staff pleasant and rooms always warm.

Pamporovo is great for people who have never been on a ski holiday for 2 reasons - 1st - they dont know what they are mising- 2nd there is a tiny amount of runs. The hire equipment is very ropey and so are the lifts but as a beginner you wont be too fussed. There is one main lift in the morning which causes huge queues at ski school time but the easy runs and small area means you can’t get lost even if you’re not with your instructor. Having skiing in the French Alps a number of times since I would be gutted if I went to Bulgaria now, but as a first ski holiday it was good, cheap - that’s the main thing - go if you can’t afford anything else or if you’ve never skied before.

I visited this resort for the first time last week (23/02/09). I had the most wonderful skiing experience. It is such a beautiful resort. I have never skied in such an alpine environment - trees lining almost every run. I have read bad reviews about Pamporov - mainly about the snowfall. If you pick it right (don’t risk going very early or late unless it is a last min booking) then you will have a fantastic time - at a 3rd of the price of Western resorts. I will definitely be going back next year.

I booked a double apartment for the week over New Year to sleep 4. Firstly the apartment was far better than expected. Brand new, excellent facilities and huge! The views over the Snezhanka peak were fantastic and the facilities in the hotel are great. Try finding a hotel in the Alps with a pool this nice. The resort is very picturesque with some beautiful tree runs and while it is suited to beginners I was more than able to challenge myself on the mountain and put my 20+ yrs of experience to the test on occasion. My friends who were beginners loved the ski school and have an invite back to Plovdiv to visit their instructor! Nightlife is as lively as you want to make it and, if you stick to the local delicacies, the restaurants serve some tasty bargains. Thoroughly recommend the hotel and resort and if you're looking for something a bit different there's a whole new world around the resort to satisfy the wanderlust. We're booked in for next year!
