Bulgaria Ski discussion board

There have been many questions lately from parents concerned about Kindergarden skiing, and whether kids can ski with adults.

There has also been some misguided information given in the replies, so I'll try and clear it up once and for all.

Junior Ski Classes are open to children over the age of 4.
If 2 adults book a full ski pack, or learn to ski pack with Balkan then one child aged 4 - 7 receives a free place in the Junior Ski Club, and one child aged 7 - 11 receives a free place in general ski school.

IN SHORT, 4 is the minimum age that you can place a child in a ski class.

Kindergarden instructors are reguarded as among the best anywhere in Europe, and your kids will be very safe,
and treated very very well.

If you insist on skiing with your kids, (and believe me they will have a far better time skiing with other kids) then you can all ski in a group together. The instructors will not prevent you from enjoying yourselves together, although a 7 year old may hold the rest of the class back as the week goes on.

This information is correct, trust me, I'm a Consultant!

Ski lessons run from 10am until 12.30pm then from 1.30pm until 3.30pm (approximately) and all lessons end at the bottom where you can all meet up again and free-ski together for the last hour if you so wish.

Now stop worrying and start looking forward to THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER

Hi PP, great information. I have re-read the Thomson Brochure who we are going with and the deal we have is '2 adults on learn to ski package' receieves 1 free child (aged 4-7) to go into the Rila Kindergarden (inside Rila Hotel) and then the staff take them to The Kids Ski Lessons for 1 hr in the morning and 1hr in the afternoon. In the meantime, they play inside/outside and give them lunch. However, my 8 yr will go into Kids Ski Club, like us!. Can you shed more light, if we can just book for our 7 yr to go with the 8 yr old for normal kids ski lessons. Ta. Much appreciated. Yvette
