I assume Balkan use the kindergarten at The Rila which is operated by Borosport. As far as I understand the ladies are very kind and helpful but the children don't get to do much skiing. I was very impressed by how much time Inghams spent on the slopes with the children. We actually used the Albena Ski School ourselves last year as we were so impressed by them.

To be honest if you ski with the boys yourselves you will probably find it OK but I imagine it would be somewhat lacking for a 6 year old who wants to ski and was being left all day by his parents.

As I said earlier, Alister and Rosie used the ski school last year and I stayed with them and Simon joined a more advanced class with our Ski instructor Krassi, from the previous year. Simon joined me for 2 of the days to be with the children, which also gave me the opportunity to try some more difficult slopes.

All worked very well from our point of view.

Hope this all helps

Hi Ellie,
Do you know the contact of the ski school so I can ask them about ages etc. Is there more than one school? This is all getting a bit confusing. If I put Hollie into ski kindergarten do you think she will learn to ski?
regards
julie

Hollie is 6 but I was hoping she would be able to go to ski school - what do you think.
