Here dolce vita is brought to perfection.

The stunning region of Bjelasica and Komovi mountains, with the town of Kolašin as its core, is Europe's best-kept ski secret. The mountain gem, Bjelasica mountain and the town of Kolašin are rapidly becoming a new Montenegrin hot-spot destination. Thoughtfully located in the gentle topography of Bjelasica mountain, nine kilometres from the town centre, the first Montenegrin mountain resort, Kolašin Valleys, represents a new real estate community with a unique concept for living at the top.

The first phase of the master plan of Bjelasica and Komovi is being implemented through Kolašin Valleys - its ski resorts Kolašin 1450 and K16 unite 42 kilometres of ski tracks into the new ski capital of Montenegro and the largest ski area on the Adriatic.

The apartments are sold fully furnished. The interior is inspired by the harmony of the elements of the environment - stone, wood and wool, exuberant, hundred-year-old spruces, and the sky, which are reflected in the clean aesthetics of a subtle palette of earthy and pastel tones. Traditional mountain architecture has been given a modern expression here, uniting the hint of old times with the advantages of modern life through high-quality equipment and furniture. Here, skiers will find a refuge for rest after the excitement on the slopes, relaxation with a good wine before falling asleep and a unique offer of the best traditional delicacies prepared according to the local recipes kept for hundreds of years.

Three ski lifts and a two-seater have been completely reconstructed, and the new six-seater chairlift is considered the best of its type in the region. In addition, two modern six-seaters were acquired, which puts the ski resort Kolašin in a leading position in the region.
