About Pamporovo ski zone
Pamporovo AD runs the lifts from three ski centres: Ski Center 1 (Tourist Center), Ski Center 2 (Malina), the beginners’ and children’s area, and Ski Center 3 (Studenets). The longest lift, Stoykite–Snezhanka, is 2,992 m with a 453 m rise. Runs include the professional Stenata (the Wall), Arch. Peter Petrov–European and Snezhanka, the advanced Malina (2,799 m), and the long Stoykite runs (3,638 m). Live lift and run status is on the operator’s site, and the info line is 0700 17 702.
The snow park, on the Southern Slopes, has its own 200-metre drag lift, artificial snow since the 2023/24 season and lines for beginners, intermediates and experts, with boxes, rails and kickers. Cross-country skiers have a 25 km trail to the village of Mugla and back.
The lifts that climb to Snezhanka: Studenets–Snezhanka (1,100 m, 2,400 skiers an hour), Malina–Snezhanka (2,140 m, 3,000 an hour), Smolyan Lakes–Snezhanka (1,550 m), Stoykite–Snezhanka (2,992 m) and Arch. Peter Petrov–Snezhanka (1,300 m). Drag lifts serve Yazovira, Stenata and Akademik.
Our advice: on busy days, start from Studenets or Stoykite rather than Malina, where most ski-school groups gather in the morning.
