Bulgaria is quickly expanding into a major ski resort developer in the eastern European community following the recent announcement that yet another ski facility is being planned in the Rhodope Mountains.

The latest new ski resort for Bulgaria, has been announced. This is the latest of a string of new Bulgarian ski area announcements, which seems to be announced at a rate of almost one a week.

The latest resort, to be called Mechi Chal, is due to be constructed over the next five years in the country’s Rhodoppe Mountains.

The resort is ear-marked for a small existing ski hill close to the town of Chepelare where the existing lift will be renovated at the first stage of a 50 million Euro investment.

The ski area should be operational for the coming winter with a second lift, 2.7km long, installed and a new 3.5km long ski run with snow making. During the next three years a third lift, 3km long, will be built along with a sports centre in Chepelare, and another 3-km long lift.

Locals have welcomed the new ski area plan as, unusually for Bulgaria, the local community is reported to have a 50 percent share in the development alongside private investors.
