LEARN TO SKI
Balkan Holidays recommends Bansko in Bulgaria for first-time skiers, where the Ulen ski school has expert instructors, an extensive nursery area, and a
extensive breakfast buffet and four-course banquet dinners in the main restaurant – there’s a lot of food, but it’s really quite refined fare. Those who want to upgrade can eat at the à la carte, Michelin- starred Neuwirt restaurant. From the outside, the hotel
looks traditionally Austrian; inside, it’s modern luxe with a slightly Scandinavian feel, all blonde wood, cosy textiles in neutral colours and log fires. The bar is stylish but not stuck-up, with live piano music after 9.30pm. Our visit somehow spiralled into a karaoke session, with me on the maracas. Book it: Inghams offers seven nights’ half-board at the Hotel Schwarzer Adler from £944, including flights and transfers. Learn to ski packages start from £204, including six days’ ski and boot hire, six days’ ski school and use of all beginners’ lifts.
