Alpine Coaster
New for 2024, the Alpine Coaster opened earlier in the summer. Integrated into the mountainside, this exhilarating two-person experience descends the cliffs of Lovćen giving riders spectacular views of the Bay of Kotor. With maximum speeds of up to 40km/h, rides cost eight euros per person. With 2.5km of hiking trails within the Kotor Cable Car complex, scenic viewpoints, e-bike rentals, and a pump track, there’s something for every adventurer.
Discover Durmitor National Park
Durmitor National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a haven for nature lovers. The park boasts rugged mountains, dense pine forests, and deep canyons. Hiking, rafting in the Tara River Canyon (the deepest canyon in Europe), and skiing in the winter are just a few of the activities that make Durmitor a year-round destination.
Climb Mount Lovćen
Mount Lovćen, one of the “Black Mountains” that give Montenegro its name, is a symbol of national pride. Hike or drive to the top to visit the Njegoš Mausoleum, dedicated to the country’s greatest poet and ruler, Petar II Petrović-Njegoš. The views from the summit, overlooking the Adriatic Sea and the mountainous landscape, are unforgettable.
Sightsee on Lake Skadar
Lake Skadar, the largest lake in the Balkans, is a paradise for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. The lake straddles the border between Montenegro and Albania, and its shores are dotted with traditional fishing villages, monasteries, and vineyards. Take a boat tour to explore its tranquil waters and discover the unique flora and fauna.
Explore the Bay of Kotor
The Bay of Kotor, Europe’s southernmost fjord, often called “The bride of the Adriatics” is a breathtaking destination. Surrounded by towering mountains and dotted with charming mediaeval towns like Kotor, Perast, Herceg Novi, the bay offers opportunities for sailing, kayaking, and exploring UNESCO World Heritage sites. Don’t miss climbing the ancient city walls of Kotor for panoramic views of the bay.
