A new six-seat ski lift and two new ski runs are planned between Bulgaria’s Pamporovo ski resort and the village of Stoykite. According to the Mayor of Stoykite, assuming everything goes to plan, the ski runs and the lift will be ready for the open of the 2008-09 ski season. As the public debate on the environmental impact of the project has yet to be held, the Mayor of Stoykite Ivan Malkochev confirmed the information and said the procedure is complex and slow.
The cutting where the new lift will pass is ready, as it starts from the center of Stoykite and reaches Snezhanka peak in Pamporovo. The total length of the ski lift will be 2,992 m (approx 1.86 miles) with the the two ski runs reaching almost 5 kilometres or 3.1 miles, among the longest in the resort of Pamporovo.
Mayor Ivan Milkochev hopes that the new construction will also facilitate the total renovation of the old drag lift and ski slope located just above the village of Stoykite, as they are in close proximity to the new planned facilities.
