Kids' ski lessons in Bansko

Hi. Can anyone recommend a ski school in Bansko for my children? I am looking for 1-to-1 instruction for my eldest (age Cool with a good English speaker, and also a group lesson for my 4 year old who has never skied before. It's him I'm really struggling with because it seems that lessons are only available for kids age 5+. Is that right? If so, what is available for him at the top of the gondola?

Any advice and information would be gratefully received!

Thanks.
Lesley

Ullen kids ski school age starts at 7. You could get private tuition from the ski shops as they will do 1-1 with a 4 year old.

The kinder at the top of the Gondola they only get about 1hrs ski instruction. The rest of the day is play etc and dinner.

Thanks everyone. George from Ski Mania suggest just going in to book when we arrive, but we were hoping to pre-book something.

Steve, is that the Ulens nursery at Bunderishka? Is it pre-bookable, with English speakers? (Great pushchair by the way!)

re: Kids' ski lessons in Bansko

Lesley - I used the Kinder last year for my 2 and STeve is right - they only get about an hour of very basic instruction. When I went you couldn't pre-book unless it was through an operator, but no-one seems to get turned down. I was worried about not getting a space but it really wasn't an issue.
