SKIERS FLOCK TO BULGARIA AS SNOWFALL FAILS IN ALPINE RESORTS

2007-01-08   |  EasierProperty.com, with excerpts

Thousands of skiers and snowboarders are changing their holiday plans and visiting the resorts of Bansko, Borovets and Pamporovo in Bulgaria this season due to poor snowfall in the traditional Alpine resorts.

A few resorts in Austria, France and Switzerland have seen a dusting of snow but it has come late and forced many resorts to remain closed and even cancelled early races of the World Cup. The lack of snowfall has been blamed on the unusually warm autumn experienced by Western Europe and many fear the effects of climate change are now being seen.

In contrast Bulgaria has benefited from its Eastern European location with the cold winds from the north bringing expected snowfall. The popular resorts of Borovets and Pamporovo, located 100km and 200km from the capital Sofia respectively, are open for business with on average 15cm of new snowfall daily. Tourist numbers are expected to reach an all time high this season due to the low snowfall elsewhere in Europe with Bansko expecting between 800,000 and 1 million visitors over the 2006/2007 season.
