Pamporovo is a beautiful, unspoilt, but up-and-coming ski resort that is just beginning to be discovered. It offers incredible scenery and a surprisingly active apres ski scene.
Being the most Southerly ski resort in Europe it gets plenty of sunshine and there is massive potential for its summer market with hiking, mountain biking, spas and the Greek beaches nearby. There are three main factors that are likely to see significant increases in prices in Pamporovo: 1. The Perelik project - the Bulgarian government will be investing hundreds of millions of Euros into a huge expansion of the ski runs and infrastructure of Pamporovo. A massive new ski area will be linked to the centre of Pamporovo by gondolas. 2. Low cost flights - Nearby Plovdiv airport will soon receive low cost carriers (such as Ryanair). This will really open up Pamporovo and make access extremely easy. The resort is just over an hour from the airport. 3. Motorway to Greece - The EU is funding a new motorway that will connect Pamporovo to the Greek Aegean coast. Once it is complete you will be able to get to the beach in under 1.5 hrs.
