New Ski Resort For Bulgaria
Monday, July 7th, 2008
Britons wishing to take ski holidays in Bulgaria will soon have an additional location to choose from after it was revealed that a new resort is to be built.
VisitBulgaria.net reports that the €50 million ski resort is due to be built near to Chepelare by Rhodoppe Mountain, according to Sofia News Agency.
It is hoped that the resort, to be called Mechi Chal, will help to transform the region into an international winter sports centre.
Construction is expected to take five years and will be split into three stages, the first of which is scheduled for completion before the end of 2008.
"This is one of the first projects in the country, which will be realised through an equal partnership between the Chepelare municipality and the business investors," mayor of Chepelare Georgi Popov commented.
As part of the building work, an existing ski lift will be renovated and a new 2.7 kilometre lift will be constructed.
A third lift measuring three kilometres will be put in place during the third stage of construction.
