The Absolute Best Places To Ski in Bosnia

Bosnia’s second tallest mountain in Diarnic Alps, just 28 kilometres (17.4 miles) from Sarajevo, is a favourite resort for locals. Jahorina’s slopes hosted events in the 1984 Winter Olympics, including the Women’s Alpine Competitions. The resort is small with spots for skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing. You can also find a variety of accommodations from log cabins to resorts and world-class dining at this resort.

Opening hours: 9:00am to 4:00pm.

Kupres Ski Resort has four runs between 1,317 (4,321) and 1,708 metres (5,604 feet). Slopes extend 13 kilometres (8.1 miles) making an ideal place for skiing in Bosnia for beginners and intermediates. You can rent equipment when you arrive and have the option of skiing in both the day and night for a different experience.

Croatians from Dalmatia and Bosnians from Herzegovina flock here during the winter. Several types of accommodation are available, and the resorts have a reasonable nightlife and recreational facilities. The Stozer-Vrana ski resort is just a few kilometres away too.

Opening hours from: 9:00am to 4:00pm.

If you’re a beginner wanting to develop your skills on a smooth slope, consider Rostovo Ski Resort. A total of 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) of slopes reaching 200 metres (656 feet) of vertical altitude provide easy to medium levels of skiing. Experienced skiers may not find Rostovo challenging enough, but it comes recommended for newbies. An important consideration is the relatively low altitude makes snowfall less predictable, especially around late autumn and toward the end of winter.

Opening hours: 9:00am to 4:00pm.
