Ski trip to Pamporovo

Halsbury Sticker

Will your school ski group be made up of a number of beginners and/or younger students? Are you looking for a resort that offers great value for money? Then a school ski trip to Bulgaria's Pamporovo could be exactly what you’re looking for!

A modern ski resort in the Rhodopi Mountains, Pamporovo is just two hours from Bulgaria’s second city, Plovdiv. With a winter wonderland backdrop of snow-covered pine forests, Pamporovo really does look like something out of a fairy tale. Benefiting from a mild climate and over 120 days of sunshine during a typical ski season (December to late April), this resort is ideal for skiing in comfort and is a pleasure to learn in.

Skiing in Pamporovo

There are plenty of easy slopes at Pamporovo, which will allow your beginners to develop their skills and grow in confidence as the week progresses. But don’t worry, there’s plenty for intermediate skiers too, with lots of challenging slopes for them to get their teeth into. Although this resort is ideal for the less experienced skiers, any advanced skiers in the group will also find a few challenges waiting for them, including ‘The Wall’ (a steep mogul field) and the giant slalom run. Boasting the only half-pipe in the Balkans, Pamporovo is also a good option for snowboarders.

Supporting you
every step of the way

Creating your perfect ski trip

Your quote will be put together by an experienced Tour Adviser who’ll be an expert in skiing trips and knows our resorts really well. They’ll work with you to create a trip to suit your group’s needs and budget.

Launching your trip to parents and students

The next step is to get your trip approved and get students signed up to it. Our ‘Trip Launch Pack’ will help you with this step. This is full of resources (all free to download) designed to make your life easier at this crucial point in the trip planning process.

After you’ve booked

Once you’ve booked, your dedicated Itinerary Coordinator will start work on the finer details. They’ll make sure your ski lessons, ski hire and après-ski activities are all sorted and they’ll take on most of the other admin tasks for your trip (so you can look forward to the trip as much as the kids).

Support while you’re away

While you’re abroad, you’ll be looked after by a Halsbury rep based in your resort. And Halsbury HQ staff will be on the end of the phone 24 hours a day. You’ll get a final info pack before you go with all the info you need, plus access to all your trip documents on the Vamoos app.

After
your trip

When you return from your trip, we’ll ask you to complete a detailed feedback survey, so we can continue our service. This is also the perfect time to start planning your next trip, so you can give parents plenty of time to pay for it (and make it easier for you).
