Igman - A white oasis with a touch of hedonism

Once you get to Igman, the crisp mountain air and the dense pine forest that seems to stretch as far as the eye can see, make this Olympic mountain one of the most desirable locations for a break from city noise and polluted air.

FAVORITE PICNIC SPOT

The favorite picnic spot for Sarajevo residents, as well as the guests who visit it, can be reached from two directions via the new asphalted road. Igman is one of those mountains that are loved with equal fervor both in summer and winter. When you come to Igman, you can venture in several directions. Veliko polje is ideal for an excursion, because it is where adults can enjoy a picnic or long walks along well-maintained trails in their own arrangement, and the little ones can play and sled. Veliko polje is also a perfect location for observing the night sky. Those who head towards Malo polje will be delighted by the Olympic ski jumps, which, unfortunately, are still awaiting renovation. Regardless of the fact that they were denied the opportunity to practice on them for Olympic medals, like the German Jens Weißflog, who won his first gold on it, with a view of them it is easier to ski and dream of the Olympic spirit, which Igman still jealously guards. And that’s exactly why fans of skiing and snowboarding like to come to Malo polje, where there is a cable car in operation throughout the year, offering a surreal panoramic view. In the vicinity of Veliko polje and Malo polje, there are also several mountain lodges where you can walk, refresh yourself, and even spend the night in some of them.

SKIING, THEN SWIMMING

The luxury hotel Monti is located on Veliko polje on the mountain Igman, perfectly fitting into the environment with its architecture. If you want to extend your stay in Igman, after skiing or walking, you can enjoy the 25-meter-long heated pool with a stunning view of Igman’s snowy slopes and forest. For the same price, next to the swimming pool you can also use the spa center with a Finnish sauna, a steam room, a jacuzzi tub, a salt room and a Physiotherm infrared cabin. At the hotel, you can also enjoy hot drinks and meals or spend the night in luxurious rooms, of which the royal suite, which has its own terrace with an open-air jacuzzi, stands out.

RENEWAL OF THE OLYMPIC INFRASTRUCTURE

The prestigious 53rd. European Forester’s Competition in Nordic Skiing (EFNS) 2023 will be held from 5 to 11 February on Veliko polje on the mountain Igman. Therefore, the city authorities have begun the renovation of the technical base, the shooting range, as well as the biathlon ski tracks.
