"My favorite Bulgarian resort of all is Pamporovo because it/ s just an hour and a half to the lovely, historic city of Plovdiv (also a 2019 European Capital of Culture); it’s also near the Greek border, which gives it a little additional exotic flair. Its 35km (22 mi.) of skiing/snowboarding is a bit more limited than the others, but the lift pass also gives you access to the slopes at the beautiful mountain town of Chepelare, with Bulgaria’s longest run and a free shuttle-bus linking the two. “The Wall” is Pamporovo’s steepest run, and hosts an international slalom course here. Non-schussing musts in the area include a trio of caves – Devil’s Throat, Haramiyska, and Uhluvitsa, with fabulous rock formations."
