Welcoming new winter season with numerous projects

Our company enters the upcoming winter season with numerous novelties when it comes to investment projects. There are 8 infrastructure projects which will welcome all skiing fans and visitors to our Olympic mountain, but also ensure endless enjoyment in the winter months.

The number of vertical transport installations on Jahorina will increase significantly with 2 investment projects, i.e. the installation of 2 new ski lifts. These are the new ski button lift “Oštra Glava” for the youngest skiers on the Trnovo slope, 120 meters long, and the new ski anchor lift “Prača”, on the same slope, as long as 900 meters. This will further increase the already impressive capacity when it comes to the number of skiers that we transport to the top of the desired slopes in just an hour.

The new installations of vertical transport will be accompanied by new trails and connecting roads, but also by new kilometers of illuminated trails for the best night skiing. The project for the installation of new lighting included the installation of lighting on track 1a, which leads from the top of the Poljice slope to the start of the Trnovo six-seater, the central slope 6 on Prača and the connecting road 8a between the Poljice slope and the Novak Đoković slope, 150 meters long. The newly lit slopes will be ready for night skiing, for which Jahorina has become recognizable. Thus, we will complete the already existing 5 kilometers of trails for night skiing with 3.5 kilometers of newly lit trails according to FIS standards and thus delight skiing fans in the evening with a total of 8.5 kilometers of trails for full night enjoyment.

Along with new trails, enriched training grounds, and newly installed illumination on Jahorina trails, we will also delight those children and adults who find the greatest happiness in the first winter sport they encountered in childhood – sledding. The project of building a 700-meter-long toboggan run on track 7 was implemented, as well as a project called “SnowBoard Park”. Fans of snowboarding will enjoy the new SnowBoard Park on Trnovo slope, with an area of ​​3,000 square meters, impressively equipped with obstacles and jumps for performing the funniest tricks on the snow.

Along with the implementation of the Ski Tunnel construction project, as the sixth project that we successfully implemented during the summer months, the upgrade of the Olympic Bar was our penultimate venture this year. We are talking about the construction of a podium on the plateau of this restaurant-bar at 1,879 meters above sea level, which, as before, will be synonymous with great time and undisputed entertainment, because it will represent the center of events when it comes to the phenomenal après-ski parties organized during the winter months.

Our last project was the implementation of the “SnowFactory” system for artificial snowmaking, and a significant upgrade of the existing system for artificial snowmaking. It is about the snowing of slopes numbers 6 and 6b, on the Prača ski slope. Along with the construction of the snowmaking system on the mentioned slope, we are the first in the Balkans to acquire the most modern snowmaking system “SnowFactory” which produces artificial snow under all conditions, regardless of the air temperature. The “SnowFactory” system of artificial snowmaking will give the guests of Jahorina additional, maximum safety in the snow during the entire winter season, considering that the mentioned system is a big step forward in world skiing – it is an innovative technology for the production of top quality artificial snow 24/7  which functions as an ideal complement to the traditional artificial snowmaking system.
