The Pirin/Rhodope Mountains region
Bulgaria is the cheapest holiday destination in Europe. Pamporovo is in the heart of the Rhodope mountains about 250km form Sofia and 85km from Plovdiv.It is the southernmost ski resort in Europe, with an average winter sunshine of 120 days - but the snow isreliable. (consider how unreliable the snow cover was in many European resorts 2006/7).Resort altitude is 1650M and temperatures average a pleasant -3C. Ski season is mid December to early April.Average snowfall 1.5M The peak is Snejanka (Snow White) at 1926M.There is virtually no risk of avalanche.
In the summer there is horse riding,mountain biking and walking/hiking. Quad Biking. There is also fishing, canoeing, hunting and bird watching. Places of interest:-rock formations (eg the Miraculous Bridges , near the village of Kosovo; the "elephant" near Devin and "the maiden" resembling a standing woman on the outskirts of Shiroka Luca) .
The Yagodinska Cave/Yagodina and the Buinovo Gorge. The Trigad Gorge - the most impressive natural sight in Bulgaria where you will also find The Devil's Throat Cave. Chudnite Mostove rock formation in pine forest.
Smilian and Arda are spectular mountain valleys and the Uhlovitsa Cave. Rockclimbing; river activities; roman ruins; caves;fortresses; monasteries; churches and chapels - four churches are considered artistic cultural monuments of national historic significance.
History:-
The Rhodopes is home of the mythical singer Orpheus and the clan of guards of the sanctuary of Dionysus.
Archaeological excavations date back to the 7th century BC. There are remains of Thracian fortresses which guarded an ancient Thracian road from Abdera, on the Aegean coast, to Istros on the Danube. The churches and chapels date back to the Bulgarian Revival period (1762-1878) when cultural and educational life flourished in the region. 15 chapels are considered of regional historic significance. The Bachkovo Monastery is a must see.
Wildlife
The Rhodopes are a haven for bird watchers,and contain over 200 species - many of which are rare.
You may see Golden Eagle, or dippers and kingfishers by streams. The highland lakes are really beautiful
blue. There are lush meadows home to an abundance of wild flowers - many are not found anywhere else on Earth. According to legend the flower Silivriak with its pink petals (spring) bloomed out of the blood of Orpheus after he was dismembered. Silivriak (heberlea rhodopaensis) is the symbol of the Rhodopes. The region is famous for mushrooms and herbs.The Rhodopes are one of the few mountain ranges in Euirope where Brown Bear and wolves still live.
Our mountain guide, Dicho, is an expert on the wildlfe,birds and the rare plants and flowers besides arranging
lovely walks and excursions into the Rhodopi mountains.
The ski lifts run in summer.
Pamporovo is the southern most ski resort in Europe and the sunniest mountain resort in Bulgaria. Summer temperatures range from May 10C -20C with similar temperatures at the start of October.This is the time for
hunting wild boar - excursions can be arranged. The autumn leaves are spectacular (New England Fall but in Europe).July and August can reach an average high of 24c and low rainfall July through September (about 30mm during each of these months, August being driest).
Car Hire during summer is recommended to take advantage of exploring the beautiful mountain area.
A small family car would be adequate around £170 per week. The drive from the airport (Sofia) to Forest Nook takes about 3 hours and the scenery is lovely.
Witness the rural splendor. Visit the "emerald eyes" of the Rhodope mountain area - the Smolyan Lakes.The
deepest and most beautiful of the seven lakes is Muddy Lake (not muddy!). Devin Spa is famous and you could treat yourself! The Yagodina Cave is the longest cave in Bulgaria and is several storeys high in parts. You can take a tour which highlights the remarkable stalactites and stalagmites, which in places resemble curtains. Neolithic settlers lived in the caves in the 6th millennium BC. There is a spectacular underground waterfall 42m fall in the Devil''s Throat cave - so called because objects allowed to flow in do not flow out. The Trigradska River flows through the fantastic Devil's Throat Cave . Stretching 7,000 meters the water forms eighteen waterfalls and exits onto a canyon. It leads to the Trigad Gorge, a breathtaking natural phenomenon. Its incomparable karst formation is the most impressive natural sight in Bulgaria.
Ancient Plovdiv is contemporary to Troy and there are Roman ruins and Roman roads. There is a Roman amphitheatre still in use today. The lovely old town has been restored to its mid 19th century appearance. Plovdiv is definitely worth a visit. Modern Plovdiv is Bulgaria's second city.
The children would appreciate a visit to the water park, Aqua Land in Plovdiv.
Zlatograd is an outdoor museum of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries - the Enlightenment period in Bulgaria.
The Pamporovo / Pamporovo Village area
Pamporovo is probably one of the three best places in the world to learn to ski. It is particularly suitable for beginners and children. It is also one of the three cheapest places in the world for skiing. It boasts an excellent ski school - possibly the best for beginners, and instructors speak good English. Ski hire and ski tuition are cheap when compared to anywhere else. A lift pass is about £100 and ski/board tuition is around £100 for 4 hours over 6 days. This compares favourably to anywhere (some European resorts charge £250for a lift pass during peak season).
For tuition and equipment hire we would recommend
Interski Pamporovo (Anglo Bulgarian; several languages spoken) for skiing interskipamporovo@yahoo.com
The Snowshack - run by British enthusiasts/experts for snowboarding thesnowshack@yahoo.co.uk
Both are based near the Hotel Marcony near ski centre 2, Malinas
There is a connection between the two schools so families and groups can arrange to ski and boardwithout much separation. Both schools are one of the best reasons to come to Pamporovo.
Lessons (from beginner to advanced) are great value.
The nearest ski slopes are at the middle staion of Studenets, where you can find the Steve school.
There is also the Black Horse restaurant. The Black Horse is also well worth a visit in summer - there is a small children's playground and you can sit and eat outside with fantastic views.
Pamporovo offers excellent value for money and Bulgaria is the cheapest ski destination in Europe.. A three course meal out with wine can be less than £10 per person. Going for a coffee on the slopes will not set you back much. Shuttle buses run from the complex to the slopes/centre of Pamporovo. Ski equipment and snowboard equipment are available for rent. For the more advanced skiers Forest Nook provides a ski wardrobe room for your own ski equipment.There is a choice of intermediate runs, and for the advanced skier the "wall" black mogul run and some
interesting long reds. There is also an international slalom course to time yourself on.
Pamporovo has apres ski with value prices. Of note are:
The underground nightclub and discotheque at Forest Nook 3 nearby
BJs bar in the lobby of Hotel Perelik
Dak's Bar on the ground floor of Hotel Snejanka
Night Flight in Hotel Rojen. A new disco, the largest in Pamporovo. Very good party
Spider Night Club
The White Hart Pub in the centre of Pamporovo. Traditional pub good for party, good for food
from pub grub, bangers and mash to T bone steaks. Vegetarian pizza ande pasta dishes.
Restaurants in Smolyan offer excellent value. Try a traditional Bulgarian evening out at the Bacchus
restaurant with excellent food and staff in traditional dress and music. For good food at value prices
try the restaurant Rhodopsi Kat in Smolyan.
In summer Forest Nook can be an "away from it all" rural retreat . You can have a romantic relaxing holiday in
the beautiful mountains and visit the Smolyan Lakes which are very close. There are seven lakes of Smolyan - the largest and most beautiful being "Muddy Lake". A short 15km drive away towards the pretty town of Shriko Luca you will find the Yagodina Cave which in parts is several storeys high, and is the longest cave in Bulgaria.(total length 10 km).
You could take a tour here and see the spectacular stalactites and stalagmites and learn some history of the
Neolithic settlers who lived in the caves in the 6th millennium BC. There is a remarkable 42m waterfall in the Devil's Throat cave - so called because objects allowed to flow in do not flow out! The Trigradska River flows through the fantastic Dyavolskoto Gurlo (Devil's Throat) cave. Stretching 7,000 meters the water forms eighteen waterfalls and exits onto a canyon. It leads to the Trigad Gorge which is the most impressive natural sight in Bulgaria. Devin Spa is about a 35km Drive and worth a relaxing visit. Look out the the "elephant" natural rock formation nearby.
In Devin you will find the Vacha Dam/reservoir where you could water ski or alternatively Dospat Dam hosts a number of water sports in which you could partake.. Don't forget the water canyons in Smolyan: this is a breath taking walk with magnificent views, you could try abseiling down one of the water canyons.
Extreme Activities Centre. e.g on offer in winter Off road ATV, Off road safari, mountain winter
hikes (with guide) and snowshoeing. In summer Via Ferrata, canoeing,caves, off road ATV, off road safari,excursions, mountain hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, Quad bikingBudget skiing in winter. Activity holiday in summer. Our mountain guide, Dicho, would be happy to arrangevirtually any activity. He is also a qualified ski instructor and will give lessons at very reasonable rates.
If you want excitement Arda is well worth a visit, there is caving, bungie jumping and a whole host of activities.
Quad bikes and bicycles are available to rent in Pamporovo and Smolyan.
For a little fun try paintballing at Smolyan Lakes or a day's fishing.
You may be able to horse ride to Greece from Arda.
Group holidays can be accommodated. Our neighbours' chalet is available for rent.
There is a possibility of horse riding holidays/pony trekking trips; which would use the chalets as a base. Just a ten minute drive away (a car can be arranged to take you there and bring you back). There is a riding school which caters for both novice and advanced riders. You can ride into the surrounding forest for anhour or trek into the beautiful scenery of the Rhodopes for up to 3 days. Ask for the riding guide Stefan.
THe World Car Rally came to the Balkans for the first time in July 2010. There is plenty of exciting driving in the
mountain areas.
Ancient Plovdiv is contemporary to Troy and there are Roman ruins and Roman roads. There is a Roman amphitheatre still in use today. The lovely old town has been restored to its mid 19th century appearance. Plovdiv is definitely worth a visit. Modern Plovdiv is Bulgaria's second city.
The children would appreciate a visit to the water park, Aqua Land in Plovdiv.
For those wanting to see more of Bulgaria, why not consider a two centre summer holiday with a week at the chalet and a week on the Black Sea coast. Most car rental firms will allow a pick up and drop off at different airports.
We are not far from the Greek Aegean coast.There is a new road through the mountains (via Zlatograd) to
Xanthi which will reduce the journey time to just 90 minutes. You can reach Chalkidiki in 3 hours. You could rent a place there for a few days, but at present you would have to return the hire car to a location in Bulgaria.Check your hire firm will accept use of the car across the border (some will). Kavala and Avdira are
nice beach destinations within a 4 hour drive. If you try www.bulgariacarrent.com they will arrange for you to pick up a car in Thessaloniki, although you will have to drop off the car/finish your holiday in Bulgaria. Most of all we recommend www.psl-bg for both car hire and cross border airport transfers.
Tip for 2 centre holidays
The site www.holidaylettings.co.uk has a number of villas and apartments to rent on the Black Sea coast, but
for those wanting a 2 centre holiday with the Aegean coast , we would suggest you look at teletext holidays and www.travelsupermarket.com/ www.cheapflights.co.uk for both flights and holidays. Kavala (KAV) is about a 4 hour drive and 85km from Pamporovo Village and you may get a last minute holiday in the Greek island of Thasos cheaper than a return flight from Kavala. (The flights go into Kavala). We recommend car hire from www.psl-bg for cross border.

Reviews
 10 Jul 2011 |
We had a great week's skiing, staying at one of the chalets in Pamporovo village. The chalet was comfortable and well equipped with cable TV, DVD etc + a fully equipped kitchen although there is also an excellent restaurant on site. The village is in a beautiful location in the middle of a pine forest although it is about 2-3 km from the ski slopes - you can arrange lifts via reception but we preferred to hire a car which meant that we were able to go to the nearby town of Smolyan in the evenings where there were some great restaurants + much cheaper than in Pamporovo itself (+ we were able to drive ourselves to the site from the airport). The skiing was fantastic with fresh powder every day + virtually every run open (in fact the only closed run was the one to Smolyan lakes which we skiied anyway) - it sounded like we had the best week of the season for snow! Overall a great holiday + we will definitely be back |
Guestbook for Chalet Village, Active/ Nature

Mihail and friends, December 2011
The restaurant across the road is as good as any in the village, but do not get into any drinking competitions
with the Eastern Europeans, as R found out! My youngest Sophie had ski instruction in the mornings with Natalie, and R had snowboard instruction with Ivan. Both were whizzing down the slopes by the end of the week.
We are interested in another holiday at your Forest Nook chalet and will get in touch again.
John H 9 Jan
The snow conditions over Feb half term were absolutely fantastic! Loads of fluffy white soft stuff, and new
snow nearly every day, but not so much to prevent going on the slopes. Excellent tuition at the Snowshack!
I made the black run! The chalet was nice.
Russell, Feb
“Great for the Kids”
Date of review: 6 Feb
We Stayed in Chalet 25 and had a great time. Snow was fantastic and slopes were great for our children who were new to skiing. The Chalet was comfortable and clean with ample space & facilities. Forest Nook 2 was a little way out from the centre. However being away from the town was great for us. Our children loved sledging & bumboarding around the village and the hole place was very peaceful.
Would definately recommend.
Kelly Fletcher and family
We've been to Pamporovo in December and we've stayed there for an entire week. The place is relaxing, quite, away from the noise and the "big city rush". We really charged our batteries.
We've stayed in Chalet 25 Pamporovo Village, a great chalet and well very equiped. I felt like I was at home due to the flat screen TV, DVD, Playstation and games, saucepans, plates, mugs, bowls and knives, forks, spoons, microwaves and sandwich makers, toaster and water boiler.
Would definitely stay in this chalet again, Chalet 25 Pamporovo Village.
Catalin Jalba and friends
We stayed at chalet 25 Pamporovo Village which turned out to be an ideal location for trekking and scenic beauty. The detached quietly situated chalet was home from home. The first floor has 2 spacious bedrooms with 2 bath rooms with excellent shower facilities and can sleep four people. The large comfortable lounge, with wood burning fire for the winter, could sleep another two people and has its own toilet. Cooking facilities gave us all we needed to provide our own meals. A fan controlled oven, two cooking rings and a microwave oven was more than adequate for roasts and simple meals. A toaster, fridge freezer, a kettle, sandwich maker and a range of cooking utensils together with a full range of cups plates etc. made the Chalet self contained. For in house entertainment a DVD, flat screen TV and a Play station with a selection of games are provided. The chalet is also very close to a restaurant and pool. It is brilliant for groups of young people.
Some of the highlights are the rides on the mountain ski lifts at Mechi Chai Chepelare, and a visit to the TV tower at Snejhanka which gave a remarkable view of the surrounding country side. On a clear day it is possible to see the Greek border. We also took a chair lift to the Smolyan Lakes nearby. Slightly further a field are the Wonderful Bridges which are well worth a visit. We also visited the Roman Amplitheatre and the nineteenth century old town of Plovdiv, and the Bachkovo monastery. There are a wide range of interests for everybody. It is also worth mentioning the summer temperature was approximately 23C and is reasonably consistent.
Car hire is essential. We used www.psl-bg.
Parking is no problem at the Chalet and by the slopes (except possibly during Christmas and the New Year weeks).
The whole holiday experience was relaxing and a joy to be in this part of Bulgaria and would recommend Chalet 25 with all its advantages, to anybody.
Mike, August
We spent 2 weeks here in July with only one cloudy day! and lovely sunshine. We went up the Snejhanka
and Perelik peaks, to the Wonderful Bridges, the Bachkovo Monastery, the Smolyan Lakes, Plovdiv Roman Amphitheatre and Old Town, Devin Spa and Trigad Gorge and the highlights Devil's Throat Cave and the
caves at Yagodina. A really nice time in a lovely chalet with our children aged 12,10 and 8.
Jens Michael Carstensen
Mary, thanks a lot for the information!
I've also read a guide-book - we are going to visit all these
wonderful places, I've dreamed about itfor a long time :)
I'd like to thank you for your attention.
This place is amazing.
We like Pamporovo Village very much.
Beautiful houses, big trees, flowers, bird's singing... it's a miracle!
We like our sweet home- it's very comfortable.
We go to sweeming pool ang jacuzzi. It was fun :)
Evgeny and Olga
Wonderful in nature!
Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable dans cette chalet 25. La route qui y mène étant en très mauvais état, nous nous sommes retrouvés presque seuls parmi une trentaine de chalets. Nous avons donc trouvé calme et confort et pu appprécié une piscine pour nous seuls. Un vrai luxe. Pamporovo est une bonne destination pour découvrir une partie des Rhodopes et les randonnées sont nombreuses et de qualité. Les alentours sont aussi sympas (Chiroka Laka, Smolyan (pour les courses) ou Chepelare.
Famille Pellerin
The chalet is marvoulos,more comfortable and much more luxurier than it is showed in the pictures.The view is fantastic.You are really in a wood,between about 3km from Pamporovo and 15km from smolyan.To find it you should head towards Smolyan, if you are coming from Assenovgrad.After Forest nook on your left it's a shign(pamporovo village hotel) turn left for 1km.You shoud try a restaurant at smolyan, after super market "billa" for about 10m on your right ,on the main road.
la vue sur les montagnes bleues (view on the blue montains), le feu de cheminée dans le chalet (fire in the fireplace of our living room)
Chalets individuels confortables pour 4 personnes, 6 max, dans un cadre magnifique de montagnes. Personnel aimable, à l'écoute et efficace. Petit restaurant bar à proximité, modeste mais très pratique. Le complexe est un peu excentré, il est donc préférable d'avoir une voiture pour rejoindre les pistes de ski et autres activités.
- Si vous souhaitez cuisiner, les kitchenettes sont en général peu équipées. Il n'y a pas véritablement de supermarchés à proximité, sinon Smolian, à 11 km.
Totul ne-a placut,incepand de la cadrul natural in care sunt amplasate cabanutele,curatenia si confortul din acestea ,pana la amabilitatea,si in acelasi timp,discretia personalului.
- Singurul si micul inconvenient pe care pot sa-l amintesc este faptul ca nu am putut folosi semineul datorita unei defectiuni la cos sau la instalatia de incalzire racordata la acesta,dar desigur ,nu am facut o tragedie din asta .Functionarea semineului ar fi dat un farmec aparte cabanutei precum si un plus de caldura in living.
Cadre agréable. Montagnes magnifiques. Attention aux ours.
The staff involved were friendly, english speaking and gave us a warm welcome. The apartment type accomodation offers an agreeable stay also with bad weather. The check-in with the fireplace already working was formidable.
- It is relatively difficult to find the apartments if you come for the first time. A location map coming along with the reservation confirmation might be helpful.
