Borovets lesson times?

Going to Borovets on 14/2, booked with Crystal.
Not sure which ski school they use, please can anyone tell me what the normal lesson times are? Have a 9 year old son who is likely to be in a different class to myself & my husband, wondering if there's a break for lunch where you can meet up, or if the 4 hour lessons run straight through? (Last 2 years in Kopaonik, Serbia lessons started at 9am and ran through until 1pm, which was perfect to meet up for lunch and then still have some of ...

(Last 2 years in Kopaonik, Serbia lessons started at 9am and ran through until 1pm, which was perfect to meet up for lunch and then still have some of the afternoon left to ski together. Our instructor always managed to have at least 1 pub stop within the 4 hours, had a great time)

Lessons are 10 - 3 ish and people usually stay with their instructor for lunch around 12 - 1.

You don't say what standard you all are but you could ask to be in the same group. We usually meet up around 3 and ski then as a family.

Hope that helps Very Happy

Thanks borogirl - we're intermediate standard - it will be my son Ben's 4th consecutive year skiing - he'll soon be better than us! Not sure about being in the same group, think it's better for him to be in a group with other kids really, assuming that there's enough intermediate kids at half term to make up a group that is... (last year in Kopaonik there wasn't and it was 60% adults/older teenagers, 40% kids around Ben's age + a bit older, which wasn't ideal).

Helen it does depend who else is out there at the same time but they do try and put kids together. Ski school is very flexible though.

You may also be taken to different parts of the mountain. We take walkie talkies to find one another and then decide whether to meet up for lunch or later. Very Happy
