Bjelašnica - The center of amazing events

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced skier, you can find a ski run for yourself on this Olympic beauty. Only about 20 km away from Sarajevo, Bjelašnica was one of the hosts during the 14th Winter Olympic Games in 1984. You can reach its ski runs by baby ski lifts, platter lifts, and anchor lifts, and two-seater, four-seater and six-seater will take you to higher altitudes and Olympic slopes, which can be a challenge even for the best skiers. After the last year’s winter season, works began on expanding ski runs and reconstructing the existing ski lift infrastructure on Bjelašnica, so this season visitors can expect a new ski lift on Kolijevka ski run.
