Located 80 km south of Plovdiv, Chepelare has its own ski area, Mechi Chall (Bear Peak), located at the outskirts of town. A double chairlift to the 1,820m summit accesses two runs (one advanced, the other - intermediate).The summit of Mechi Chall is more than 200 meters higher than Pamporovo's Snezhanka peak and the 720-vertical meter drop is nearly twice as great. While most winter and summer visitors to the region opt to stay at Pamporovo, Chepelare offers an authentic Rhodopean, as well as a less-expensive alternative.
