When most people think of skiing, destinations like Switzerland’s Alps or France’s Mont Blanc come to mind. But what if I am to tell you, you can have a great amazing skiing trip for just a fraction of the price? In the north of Montenegro lies Kolašin, an emerging ski destination winning winter sports enthusiasts’ hearts. Offering amazing views, well-groomed slopes, and unbeatable prices, Kolašin might be Europe’s best-kept skiing secret.
Affordable luxury on the slopes
Let’s face it—skiing in Switzerland or France can be costly. A day pass in renowned resorts like Verbier, Zermatt or Chamonix can set you back 70-100€, while premium American resorts such as Aspen can exceed €150 per day. By contrast, a ski pass in Kolašin costs around 25-30€ per day. Accommodation follows the same trend: you can enjoy charming lodges and four-star hotels for a fraction of what you’d pay in the Alps. Budget-conscious travelers can indulge in a luxurious experience without sacrificing quality.
The average accommodation price in popular French ski resorts like Chamonix or Val d’Isère ranges from 200-400€ per night for mid-range hotels, with luxury options exceeding 500€ per night. In contrast, Kolašin offers charming lodges and four-star hotels starting at just 80-150€ per night, making it a much more budget-friendly skiing destination.
World-class slopes without a crowd
We all like to travel, but let’s be honest, nobody likes crowded places. Kolašin boasts ski resorts like Kolašin 1450 and Kolašin 1600, with slopes suitable for all skill levels. While Swiss and French resorts offer extensive terrains, they can be overcrowded, especially during peak season. In Kolašin, you’ll find wide-open pistes, minimal lift lines, and a serene alpine atmosphere. Its well-maintained runs range from beginner-friendly to challenging black slopes, making it a versatile destination.
Breathtaking views and unspoiled nature
While the majestic peaks of the Alps are undeniably stunning, Kolašin offers its own unique beauty. Located within the rugged Bjelasica mountain range and surrounded by two national parks – Biogradska Gora and Durmitor – Kolašin’s landscapes feel untouched. Skiing with panoramic views of snow-capped forests, crystal-clear rivers, and deep valleys. It’s a nature lover’s paradise.
Alpes ski charm with Local delights
Unlike some high-end resorts that lean toward glamour, Kolašin offers an authentic and cozy après-ski experience. Trying savory hearty Montenegrin dishes like kačamak (a traditional potato and cheese dish) by a roaring fire or sipping rakija (local brandy) at a rustic mountain lodge. The warm hospitality makes every visit unforgettable.
Why choose Kolašin?
While Switzerland and France offer iconic skiing experiences, Kolašin stands out for its affordability, charm, and unspoiled nature. It’s a place where you can enjoy world-class skiing without breaking the bank—or fighting for space on the slopes.
