Snezhanka
is Bulgarian for 'Snow-White'
Although
the hotel or apartments do not change their name in the summer,
the beautiful countryside surrounding the Pamporovo area certainly
does change. After the Snow White mountains of the Bulgarian
winter, the lush green of the mountains and pine trees provides
a startling and beautiful contrast.
Pamporovo
is located in the most southern part of Rhodopi mountain,
the nearest bigger town is Smolyan. Surrounded by clean and
unspoiled nature, pine woods and beautiful mountainous sceneries,
the place is a perfect spot for recreation and relaxation
in the crystal clear air and sports activities in the ski
resort.
The
snow covered pistes are replaced by spring flowers on lush
green grass often turned out for grazing. Skidoos and sledges
are replaced by horses, 4x4 vehicles and mountain bikes and
the snow covered tracks become tarmac roads, each leading
off for further exploration.
The
temperature in the summer can get very warm - often above
30 degrees and occasionally above 40 degress, however it tends
to be a little cooler and less oppressive in the mountains
making it a much more pleasant climate for a summer walking
or hiking holiday.

The
Snezhanka hotel itself has two restaurants, swimming pool,
gym, jacuzzi, shops, internet and bars. Some of the restaurants
in the resort close during the summer months and the town
is generally quieter than it is in the winter but as more
summer industry springs up the more places will begin to stay
open if the custom is there.
