Bulgaria Ski discussion board

If that is what you experienced caro, then I am surprised and disappointed for you.

Ski School for kids is renowned in Pamporovo for being fantastic and many parents return with their kids year after year.

Almost all instructors speak excellent English, and they are hell bent on ensuring the kids are safe and having a ball.

Parents often get in the way by constantly checking on them, which is understandable, but can disrupt the class and slow down progress.

These instructors are very professional at looking after kids on skis, so just leave them to it and your children will have the time of their lives.

Quite a lot of the people I spoke to were disappointed with the kindergarten in Pamporovo when we were there. It was very busy and we didn't get much information about what the kids were actually doing/what was planned etc. Apart from, of course, what the kids told us after.

Some of the kids from our hotel moaned to their parents about kindergarten being rubbish, got taken out then moaned to go back...

It's difficult to judge what other people's children are likely to be able to cope with, my daughter's 7 and had never seen a ski before, we decided on kindergarten because of the complications of getting ski school booked in advance (just didn't know how it would work when we got there!) and also didn't know if she'd be able to handle the all day every day aspect.

She had a great time, met lots of new friends and learned basics of skiing! They also did lots of bumboarding and sledging and playing! Got a certificate at the end and can't wait to get back!

The only real whinges she had about kindergarten was the kid's room in the Perelik was far too hot (the suggestion that she take off her snowsuit when indoors was met with a scornful look, oh hum!) and the lunch included chips everyday and this wasn't healthy enough for her!

For ten quid a day childcare with ski instruction though it was an absolute bargain!
