Hiking program
The tour that will show you stunning beauty of Komovi, one of three most recognizable mountain massifs in Montenegro as well as Bjelasica, which is natural but quite different extension of this amazing, still secret place in terms of massive tourism. Also, another tour that excludes using of cars – we’ll move from hut-to-hut walking, having full impression of nature, people and our place in this part of the world. You’ll discover very diverse landscapes of north-eastern part of the country, enjoying national specialties and the highest level of traditional Montenegrin hospitality.
Day 1: Arrival - Great panoramic ride to the mountain paradise
Transfer duration: 2.5 hours
Day one we’ll spend in nice ride to the east of the country, passing grandiose Morača canyon and visiting the same named monastery from 12th century. After some nice lunch in small town Kolašin, we’ll finally reach Eco Resort Štavna, the place blessed with one of the most beautiful views in whole Montenegro. Brilliant hosts, great food and fantastic ambience – in short, really good introduction in this program.
Day 2: Komovi loop tour - Photo safari around Small Giant
Length: 19 km
Altitude: 1.100 meters ascending, the same descending
Average duration: 6 hours of active walking
Not the same popular as Durmitor, Komovi massif definitely doesn’t lag behind the most loved mountain in Montenegro. As it covers not that big territory, loop tour around this mountain is very feasible even for those of average physical shape. It will meet you with all the beauty of this magical area, giving you stunning views to the mountain heights, as well as great scenery of Kuči, Prokletije and Bjelasica. Definitely the most attractive trekking tour in this part of our country.
Day 3: From Komovi to Bjelasica Mountain - Amazing easy walk through pastures and forests
Length: 18.7 km
Altitude difference: 556 m ascending, 560 m descending (cumulative)
Average duration: 5 hours of active walk
Leaving Štavna village, we’ll have for a long time the privilege to enjoy the view of unreally beautiful peaks of Komovi Mountains. Passing through dense forests, pastures and valleys we’ll reach mild slopes of Bjelasica Mountain, the most popular Montenegrin ski resort. The trail will lead us through its grassy treasure, bringing us to amazing traditional resort of Vranjak.
Day 4: Biogradska Gora NP - Back to the roots walking through the ancient forest
Length: 16 km
Altitude difference: 230 m ascending, 900 m descending
Average duration: 5 hours of active walk
Absolutely great hike for the end. Starting from the eco resort it slightly climbs up to Ogorela Glava peak (1.988 meters of altitude), showing us again some more beauty of Komovi, but also much more: wide, grassy slopes of the rest of Bjelasica, mystical layers of Moračke Mountains in front of us, wide area of Sinjajevina Mountain and even Durmitor’s peaks far in the north.
Declining the ridge we’ll see our final point far below us – Biogradsko Lake, hidden pearl in the middle of Biogradska Gora National Park. Soon we’ll find another paradise in the middle of the mountain: old shepherd’s village Goleš, which still exists in its original shape, partly turned into tourist attraction. Having lunch there, we’ll enter the door of truly magical world of one of last ancient forests in whole Europe. Biogradska Gora is real fairytale of huge, ancient trees, fields of wild garlic, various wild animals and their marks, kingdom of absolute silence and fresh air. It will lead us down to glacial Biogradsko Lake, fantastic natural pool of melted snow colored with unbelievable colors of the sky and surrounding forest. Just an awesome spot for unforgettable wild swim.

Accommodation
As the most of offered tours are designed in hut-to-hut style, the main principle in choosing of accommodation was to pick the best available solution at particular spot. As it’s obvious from listed places for each tour, it varies from small hotels and guesthouses to private apartments, tourist households and wild camping. Except lodgings in remote areas, all the accommodations involve modern, comfortable rooms with separate bathroom and shower facilities and it’s feasible to book cabins in accordance to guests’ preferences in terms of number of beds. Traditional households (as well as wild camping) normally mean pretty basic, but fully functional conditions and facilities. Staying there makes whole the package original and attractive. Placed far from city lights and any type of pollution, they offer some other kind of comfort, from starry skies to mountain water springs and organic food. It also implies enjoying in simple, original life of local people, their culture and natural warmness and hospitality.
Each program is adjustable and it’s possible to do some changes, according to wishes of particular group.
Food

Not only Montenegro, but whole Balkan is known for its great food.

Appearing as ambassadors of local culture and tradition, we try to present all diversity of food in Montenegro – from quite interesting and original traditional plates in modern style, to simple and authentic meals when at families or shepherds’ farms.
