Olympic center Jahorina

Jahorina is a synonym for security to have the snow with a guaranteed minimum of 120 days of skiing! It represents a unique balance between good skiing, nature, fun, tradition and history. Jahorina is a mountain for everyone and affects everyone’s taste. It is specific for its tracks, from mild and wide slopes tailored for beginners to Olympic steepest downhill trails for the most experienced skiers only. The international airport is just 28km away, giving it added value and justifiable label of being the most affordable ski center in the Balkans.

The best value for money!

Jahorina is located in the center of the Balkans, at the point where the cold and hot continental Mediterranean climate meet, with the highest peak of Ogorjelica of 1916m above sea level, which makes winter days spent on Jahorina very healthy and pleasant. Jahorina can boast of the most modern artificial snow-making system which connects the whole resort, i.e. 40km of alpine and 10km of Nordic trails. At any time, perfectly groomed slopes are linked to the most modern ski lifts for transport of skiers and snowboarders, of a total capacity of around 13 000 skiers per hour.

It is especially pleasant to spend day or evening moments in one of the Jahorina cosy corners with a rich gastro and wellness offer.
