There is only a handful of places like Jahorina, where nature has been so generous, giving it all that makes it attractive and appreciated by top athletes, hunters, fishermen, hikers or anyone else eager to fully enjoy the peace and tranquillity of natural beauty. The clean mountain air revives not only the body but the soul too. Its serene, distant and beautiful views or snow-covered slopes, springs and streams or its diverse flora and fauna surely make it one of the most beautiful  gems of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Winter sports

During the summer Jahorina is covered with green grass and in the winter with up to 3 meters snow. Such favourable weather conditions and an abundance of snow  allow 170 skiing days a year on well-maintained trails and tracks.

In January 1975  Jahorina hosted the European Cup for Men and  Women’s World Cup Golden Fox. In 1977, the International Ski Federation included  the European Cup at Jahorina in their official competitions. Nicknamed the ‘snowy beauty’, at the time of the 14^th Winter Olympic Games in 1984, Jahorina was a venue for competitions in alpine skiing disciplines for women, as well as the finals of the World Cup slalom in 1987.

Jahorina G-slalom for Women:

Jahorina had three competition tracks verified by The International Ski Federation for slalom, giant slalom and downhill skiing, and thus, has always been a popular destination for winter sports aficionados (alpine skiing, cross country skiing, snowboarding). Over 20 km of well-maintained trails, extending from 1,200 m to 1,890 m above sea level, and nine ski lifts (three six-seaters, two two-seaters, three ski lifts, one baby ski lift), create a perfect atmosphere for all winter sports lovers . The  trails still bear the names  ‘Olympic Downhill’, ‘Olympic G-Slalom’ and ‘Olympic Slalom’.

In addition to accommodation facilities in a number of hotels, guest houses and private accommodation, Jahorina tourist centre offers a number of amenities for a comfortable stay. There are sports facilities for football, basketball, volleyball, handball and football, suitable for both professionals and amateurs.

From Sarajevo neighbourhood of Bentbaša via Pale, head towards Ski Centre Jahorina where you can park your car. The journey starts in front of Bistrica Hotel towards Jahorina Hotel, where we take the gravel road forward. We will cross the ski trail twice before we reach the source of the Prača River. Further through dense forest, there are four springs located at about 1 km from the main road. Going back to the main route, we reach the point where it branches off to the left towards Milošev Dol and becomes steeper.

On the way towards the top of Milošev Dol, there is a scenic viewpoint overlooking Mt. Romanija range, and on the top, next to the springs named Durmitor, we reach the highest grazing plateau of Jahorina from which we follow the path along the plateau, leading to the highest point –  peak Ogorjelica (1916 meters above sea level).
