Pamporovo has a unique claim to fame  this bright, modern ski resort is the sunniest mountain resort in Europe. It boasts no less than 270 sunny days a year on average, and in the winter provides an ideal combination  plenty of snow and plenty of sparkling sunshine to show off the resort at its best. Pamporovo is high among the Rhodope Mountains in southern Bulgaria (a beautiful region, said to have once been the home of Orpheus), set amongst magnificent pine forests. It is tailormade for skiing, with quality hotels and a really good selection of bars, restaurants and entertainment. The charming county town of Smolyan is nearby, and Bulgarias historic second city, Plovdiv, lies 80km to the north.
