Pamporovo (summer)
€889 per person
Once Upon A Time… Pamporovo, a green oasis in the heart of the Rhodope Mountains. Pamporovo, located 250 km from Sofia, is a ski resort in winter but, they also offer a dozen or so other activities during the summer months: mountain hikes for all levels, visits to extraordinary natural places (caves, etc.), rock-climbing, bike treks, all sorts of sporty activities (running, fitness… all in the clean mountain air!)… And that’s without mentioning the pool, steam baths, sauna, massage, and the likes, that the station offers.
Once Upon A Time always offers a few options: you can either join one of our fabulous groups, or you can go solo, or you can choose to go with family or friends. Whichever you choose, we are here to help! We take care of everything: we’re there with you at the airport, we accompany you to Pamporovo where you can relax and enjoy your holiday!
We’ve already concocted a program for the group trips, which we think you might like:
- 08.00: yoga class and sports training with a coach
- 09.00: breakfast
- 10.30: mountain hike (between 3 to 6 hours, depending on your physical abilities) and/or other excursions
- 17.00: yoga class
- 18.00: chill-out (pool, steam room, sauna...)
- 20.00: dinner and other activities (bowling, long conversations by the fireside...)
You can find a report of the first trip we organised in August 2021 to Pamporovo, with a group of 20 participants, in the "Travel Diaries" section. Incidentally, the trip that inspired us to launch the Once Upon A Time adventure.
Hotel Perelik
Hotel Perelik is ideally located in the center of the ski resort of Pamporovo. It offers recently renovated rooms, a restaurant that can accommodate up to 400 people, a bowling alley, a tennis court, a children’s club,…
But the strong point of the Hotel Perelik remains its spa called Body and Soul, with a semi-Olympic swimming pool, several saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzis, shower rooms… Several massage therapists offer you over thirty treatments and massages. For more information just click above, on the "Hotel" tab.
Practical information
As with most of our tours, Once Upon A Time offers two different options: "The Wanderers" and "As you wish".
The Wanderers are trips in groups of maximum 20 participants, which we organise from time to time, on fixed dates. We take care of everything: we collect you at the airport and you don’t have to do anything until your return! These are guaranteed to be amazing holidays because our groups are consistently fabulous! In this case, we pick you up at the airport, take you to Pamporovo where we arrange everything for you: accommodations, transport, mountain guide…
As you wish: would you rather travel alone? As a couple? With a few close friends? That’s cool and we’re here to make it all so much easier, as well as discussing your wishes with you so that your holidays are exactly "as you wish"! All you need to do, is decide on the duration of your trip, the number of people and the program, of which we can tweak every detail together. That’s it, we do all the rest for you.
Next dates: July and August 2022
Limit maximum 20 participants.

Cette semaine de stage de yoga avec Eric m’a procuré un bien-être infini, autant physique que psychologique.
Les Rhodopes ont le charme de la flore de mon enfance, sauvage et préservée. Les randonnées sont adaptées au rythme de chacun (plusieurs groupes), et les cours de yoga sont prodigués matin et soir au grand air, sous l’œil bienveillant d’Eric. L’entente entre les participants du groupe a été cordiale au point que nous continuons à communiquer et nous voir régulièrement… bref, ce stage est une vraie réussite, et je compte fermement y participer à nouveau dans un proche avenir. MERCI POUR TOUT, cher Eric!!
