Sustainable Development

The concept of “sustainable development” is basic to the project: economical growth, taking into regard both the people and the natural resources of the unique Rhodope Mountains. This enables us to create best conditions for enjoying a direct contact with the nature, for sport and tourism while at the same time preserving an ecologically clean environment.
During the very first season in the next year the guests of the resort will be able to see how man and nature can coexist without disrupting the ecological balance.

Why

The ski runs will be designed mostly on meadows on the peaks, bare or deforestated tracks or ravines and their width will be reduced upon entry in forests.
2 000 new trees will be planted on every hectare of the territory.
Full recovery of the nature in the built-up areas, regrassing of ski runs with local grass sorts, forwarded usage of alpine pastures.
Turfs shall be kept and further planted on the parts covered with matgrass.
An alpine golf course on the ravines below Perelik Peak.
The wood shall be transported by use of animal power and a rope tow.
The lakes shall save water in the summer which can be used in emergencies to exstinguish fire. The artificial snow systems are state-of-the-art and are actually fire hydrants.

How

One main architectural code and generally low buildings density, usage of natural materials, stone and wood, presrvation of the authentic Rhodope architecture.
There are only 4 restaurants (tea houses), medical and information centres in the high parts of Perelik region (over 1600 meters) where the ski runs of different lengths and difficulty levels take their starting point.
No new roads will be built, there is only the rehabilitation of the existing road planned  and  strengthening  to prevent landslides.
Bio-fuels are used.
The project is fully consistent with Natura 2000.
20 hectares of land near Soskovcheto Natural Reserve have been donated to the reserve with the aim to increase its territory.
