Three Olympic Mountains and a Mountain Spring in One Morning

You'll visit three Olympic mountains from the 1984 Winter Games—Trebevic, Igman, and Bjelasnica—walk the bobsleigh track, see the ski slopes, and end at the Bosna River spring. A professional local guide handles the history and timing, hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and the whole experience runs four to five hours without requiring you to navigate or book separate transport.

The Experience

The car pulls away from your hotel while the city is still waking up. Your guide points toward Trebevic Mountain rising above the rooftops—the first stop on a Sarajevo Olympic mountains tour that moves between three peaks in a few hours, each one tied to a different event from the 1984 Winter Games. You'll walk the old bobsleigh track at the top, where the slope drops away and the whole city spreads below you in a way that makes the 1980s feel recent and distant at the same time. The guide talks about the athletes who raced here, the crowds, the moment Sarajevo held the world's attention.

From there it's on to Igman, where the Nordic skiers and biathlon competitors trained, and you can see the jumping slopes carved into the mountainside—they're still there, still sharp. The air gets cooler as you climb. Then comes Bjelasnica, the highest peak in the Dinaric range and where the alpine skiing happened; there's a cable car you can take if you want, or you can sit in a mountain house with hot tea and just look out. The whole route is maybe four or five hours door-to-door, but it doesn't feel rushed because the guide knows when to stop talking and let you take pictures, or when to pull over so you can actually feel the altitude.

The last part is the Spring of the River Bosna, a nature park where the water is so clear and green it doesn't look real. There's an optional horse carriage ride through an oak alley lined with old Austro-Hungarian villas if you want to slow down even more. By then you've moved from Olympic history to just being in a place that feels separate from the city—which is probably why the tour exists in the first place. You get picked up and dropped at your hotel, so the only thing you arrange is showing up ready to walk.

What’s included

Your tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle, a professional local guide who shares stories about the 1984 Olympic Games and the mountains' history, and access to all three Olympic mountains with time to walk the bobsleigh track at Trebevic and explore the Bosna River spring. The cable car at Bjelasnica and horse carriage ride at the spring are optional add-ons.
