Pamporovo is a modern resort built within spectacular pine forests within the historic Rhodope Mountains. The beautiful Rhodope Mountains have many claims to fame in history and the mythical singer Orpheus is believed to have lived there. One of his songs is currently flying out beyond the solar system on the Voyager space craft seeking out new life and new civilizations.
The name "Pamporovo" origins from the Slavic word "pampor”, which means "caravan". According to a legend, trade caravans from the Aegean Sea passed through Pamporovo on their way to southwest Thrace. A local landowner, who built up shelters for the caravans during the winter, was called Pampor and his lands - Pamporovi. So the name of the landowner gave the name of the mountainous area of Pamporovo
There may be something in the air as many of the locals live to be 100+ (they manage to maintain a reputation for friendliness, cooking and singing for all that time too), or it may be just because this claims to be Europe's sunniest ski resort, averaging 270 sunshine days annually. Pamporovo is also known for its excellent skiing, shopping and lively après ski. It has an exclusive climate featuring a ‘soft’ winter with about 120 sunny days during the skiing period. Pamporovo sees the significant influence of The Aegean Sea (Pamporovo is only an hour away from the Aegean coast when a new road is completed) with the ski season lasting from mid-December to mid-April.
Pamporovo is situated 83 km from the city of Plovdiv and 240 km from the capital Sofia. There is a regular bus line connecting to both of these cities and both have airports.
