Dont listen to Crystals beginners do need lift passes,
but they can come as a ski pack, very cheap.
Try Balkan holidays, copy & paste.

Sounds like a better price!

If all adults book beginners package, would we all have to go together in the mornings? Do they do 3 days tuition Mornings or afternoons so we can take turns in looking after the kids and then spend the last 3 days all skiing together?

Also, if friends don't come is it worth just us and the 2 young kids going coz we would have to either put them in creche or ski separetley all holiday wouldn't we?

Sorry for all of the questions! Very Happy

Karen call 0845 1301114 they will tell you everything you need to know ask for Denitsa she will find you a great deal & I agree with some of the others Pamporovo is the best for beginners but there is a 4hr transfer to get there where as Borovets is only 1.5hrs The Iglika, Rila, or Flora would be my best advice Wink

Hi there,

Go to Pamporovo you'll have a fab time.

For those wanting to learn to snowboard, just book their lift pass with the tour operator.

Once in resort go & see Gary and the gang at the Snowshack under the Markony at bottom of mountain.

Much better equipment, cheaper and better tuition by far, than anything the tour operator can offer you.
