Snowshoeing Jahorina from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
A private snowshoe hike to the top of Jahorina, the 1984 Olympic mountain, with pickup in Sarajevo and snowshoes, poles, coffee and a snack included.
Jahorina is Sarajevo's home mountain, and it hosted the women's alpine races at the 1984 Winter Olympics. Most people come to ski. This trip gets you to the top on snowshoes instead, so you don't need to ski at all.
You're picked up at your address in Sarajevo and driven about 35 minutes to Ciljna Kuća at the foot of the slopes. The guide hands out snowshoes and poles, then leads a climb of around four hours through snowy forest to the top of Jahorina. Coffee and a snack wait at the summit, with views over the surrounding mountains, before you head down and back to Sarajevo.
It's a private tour, so the pace is yours. Food and drinks in Jahorina's restaurants and ski lift tickets are not included. For a second Olympic day out, add the bobsleigh track ride above Sarajevo, or ski at Bjelašnica.
