Hiking on snowshoes or touring skis (from December to March)

Hiking at night using flashlights near the ski centers on Bjelasica adds to the thrill. Renting equipment is possible at a local tourist organization or at ski resorts.

Which mountains are the most popular for trekking?

Bjelasica and Sinjajevina stand out among Montenegrin trekking destinations. They are suitable for all ages and should be visited between May and the end of October for traditional trekking. They are also ideal for snowshoeing and ski touring in the winter. If your Montenegro journey happens in the winter, these breathtaking mountains may be the perfect spots for you!

Durmitor Trekking Adventure

Durmitor National Park is best visited during the months of July, August, and September. Trekking takes place primarily in the vicinity of Žabljak and on the National Park's lakes.

We recommend the "Durmitor Ring" and the Ćurevac viewpoint for trekking and panoramic tours. These routes necessitate substantial physical fitness and stamina, as well as hiking in organized groups rather than solo.

Explore Prokletije

If you want to explore Prokletije, you can begin in the quiet town Plav, where most tours begin. Summer is the best time to go trekking, but even then, you might have a surprise run-in with some snow! Easy hiking trails can be found in Grebaja, near Gusinje, Plavsko Lake, and on the stretch from Babino Polje to Hridsko Lake.

The nature of Prokletije in the Plav and Gusinje municipalities will delight you with all of its options. Which of the 77 peaks with elevations greater than 2,000 meters above sea level will you choose? Or perhaps one of the three peaks that rise more than 2500 meters above sea level? It's up to you to choose.

Durmitor and Prokletije trekking tours are among the most demanding. The group tour organizers provide overnight stays, licensed guides, transportation during the arrangement, free parking, and a recording of the adventure. Fill your backpack with memories and enjoy a trekking adventure in Montenegro!

Going to the mountain in organized groups with a certified and licensed mountain guide is the safest option!

A list of certified and licensed mountain guides can be found on the Mountaineering Association of Montenegro's website. Hiking and trekking require adequate equipment, including proper footwear, layered clothing, quality mountaineering equipment, and personal documents. You can learn more information about guides and necessary equipment from mountaineering clubs, hike hosts and guides, national park information centers, and local tourist organizations.

Avoid going on tours by yourself. Remember, you use the trails at your own risk.
