Excursions & AprEs ski activities
There’s more to Pamporovo than skiing…
Some people leave the slopes and collapse onto their beds, exhausted but exhilarated and want plenty of rest before the next day. There are others who do very little skiing and rather a lot of ‘après-ski’ but most try to manage a combination of skiing and après-skiing. Après ski can consist of sitting round the fire in the hotel bar, sharing and swapping ski stories with a hot toddy or a cocktail, or can involve quiz nights, pub crawls or dancing the night away in one of the bars.
In Pamporovo there are many activities to take part in: outdoor hot springs, swimming, sledging, snow-tubing (ringo’s), husky dog rides, skidooing, fishing, quiz nights, bar crawls, traditional Bulgarian evenings and that’s just for starters.
Strulitsa Spa – Thermal Pools – Devin
One of the more popular après ski excursions in Pamporovo is to take a trip out to the pools filled with natural thermal water from local hot springs at the spa town of Devin. Famed for its natural healing waters, Devin can be found a 40 minute drive away.
What better way, after a day on the ski slopes, than to relax those tired and aching muscles in soft warm water?
There are 3 pools of varying temperatures depending on your taste. The smallest pool retains the original 45 degree temperature as it comes straight from the ground.
The healing waters are sulphuric, hydro-carbonic sodium and are suitable for active and prophylactic treatment of many diseases as well as a natural muscle relaxing therapy.
Our drivers will transport you to Devin for the evening after skiing and will remain there with you. You can spend a couple of hours soaking in the water and they will bring your beverages for you to enjoy by the pool.
After your swim, the restaurant will serve a meal which will include meats, salads, vegetables and a local wine or beer (or a soft drink) included in the price. (Vegetarian options are available – please advise at time of booking)
A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend an evening with family or friends. Socially it is a great way to get to know others that are holidaying in Pamporovo.
Prices, booking and availability will be from your rep once in resort.
