I maybe wrong and others may say so, but I would say the kids are going to be bored in Kindergarten at that age, I got the impression from the kids we took that they do not do that much ski-ing, you may be better arranging private for all three for a couple of hours a day - paying for the cheapest ski lessons through your travel company as you will get the skies, boots and ski pass much cheaper that way and then get private lessons for around 30 lev an hour for a couple of hours each day - ...

If you beg and plead you might just get the 7yr old into ski school as long as it would be with a gaurdian. Not saying it will work but in 99 a couple had a 7yr old with them in my group. It took a bit of persuading but he was let in.

But from another point you have to consider if this is fair on the rest of the group if it is all adults.

re: Pamporovo Ski Kindergarten

it could also be an age thing on the ski school insurance - so be careful if you chose that route you may not be totally covered on the insurance

Just tell them your 7 year old is 8.

Nobody will check, and you can then put her into proper ski school.
