The experience

The tour leaves your Kolasin hotel at 10 o'clock and heads first to Ski resort Kolasin 1450, then continues toward Vranjak, a traditional mountain village where the guide explains the katun way of life. The seasonal settlements herders have used for generations. From there the route climbs into the high peaks of Bjelasica: Zekova glava, Troglava and Crna glava, all above 2,000 meters. The jeep handles the mountain road, which is rough in places but passable in a standard vehicle.

At Zekova glava (2,117m), you reach a viewpoint overlooking Pesica lake, one of the largest on Bjelasica. In summer, the option exists to hike down to the lake and swim. The guide will assess whether time and conditions allow it. The entire half-day runs about three hours of driving and stops, covering more than 30 kilometers of mountain terrain. Depending on how the day unfolds and what you want to do, the guide offers recommendations for restaurants on the way back or in town.
