Get in
Pamporovo is about 2 hours away from Plovdiv, Bulgaria's second biggest city. Access to the resort town is gained through a series of windy mountainous roads.
Get around
Pamporovo is relatively small and many places of interest are within walking distance of one another. Mini buses and coaches are organised during the winter by the surrounding hotels to get to and from the ski centre. They usually operate several times in the morning and evening. Buses to the town centre from the ski centre are also available throughout the afternoon. There are a substantial amount of taxi's in the town for getting around at night.
See
The view from ski slopes of Mount Snejanka is spectacular. The tower on top of the mountain stands another 110 m providing an even better view. On clear days you can see as far as the Greek coast.
Do
Skiing is Pamporovo's main attraction. During the skiing season the ski centre and slopes at Mount Snejanke are open from 8:30AM to 4:30PM. Snowmobiles are available for supervised use at night on the mountain when the snow fall is adequate.
Buy
The resort has a small supermarket located in the centre. There are also various shops all centred in the same area. Jewelers, souvenir and clothing shops are to name a few.

Eat
The resort has enough restaurants with decent quality food so that you won't go hungry.
