Ski season in Bulgaria’s southernmost resort of Pamporovo
The ski season in Bulgaria’s southernmost resort of Pamporovo in the Rhodope Mountains is due to open on December 19 2009, a media statement said.
The newest attraction at the resort is floodlights installed at the Snejanka 3 slope as well as the Stanata (The Wall), Pamporovo’s most demanding slope. The media statement also says the complex is equipped with a new dental and first aid medical centre, Medicus Alfa, which will operate 24-hours.
The resort currently has more than 19km of slopes, 95 per cent of which can be serviced by snow cannons if needed. A brand new six-seater lift has also been installed as well as a recreational park and an “extreme park” all within the premises.
Finally, the report’s authorities believe that with the inauguration of the new border crossing point between Bulgaria and Greece at Zlatograd, many people in northern Greece will visit the resort, thus boosting the local economy.
Greek tour operators have been invited to attend the official inauguration ceremony on December 19. Tourists are also expected to flock from Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro after the visa regime for the aforementioned countries is officially dropped the same day.
