Kids ski school in Borovets, where children learn alongside other children

Children pick things up fastest from other children. Once one kid in the group links a turn, the rest want to try it too. The groups are matched by level and stay together every day. Parents, meanwhile, get two or four hours on the mountain to themselves.

Looked after from drop-off to pick-up

Each kids-only group has up to 12 children at a similar level. The instructor picks slopes that feel exciting to a five-year-old and safe to their parents, and keeps to a pace every child in the group can manage.

Group size
Up to 12 children per instructor, grouped by level.
Age groups
Kids-only groups up to age 13. Teenagers from 14 join an adult group at their level.
Lunch break
On the 4-hour day there are 2 hours on the slope, an hour's break, then 2 more. Children are looked after the whole time, and most days they eat at a café with their instructor and their parents.
Helmet
Every child wears one, and there's one in the rental kit.

Four-year-olds start on the magic carpet

The youngest begin on the magic carpet, a moving walkway on the beginner slope. A nervous child gets all the time they need, and watching a friend link a turn is often the nudge that gets them going. You're welcome to watch from the side or ski alongside. Children settle quicker when the instructor does the teaching, because they stop looking back for mum or dad.

How to book a place in kids ski school

All we need is your children's ages, their level and your dates. We reply within 24 hours, often within the hour, to tell you their group, the start time and where to meet. There's also a free 15-minute call with an instructor if you'd like to ask a few things first.

  • Meeting point

    In front of Hotel Rila by default. The spot can move with the runs we ski that day, and we tell you where before each lesson.

  • Deposit and cancellation

    No deposit and nothing to pay up front. If your plans change, cancel any time.

  • Season

    Mid-December to mid-April, and you can start any day.
