Bjelasica for Foodies & Nature Lovers: Lunch Included

Explore Biogradska Gora National Park, Kolašin, and Bjelasica on a day trip from Podgorica. Enjoy a traditional Montenegrin lunch and take in panoramic views from a cable car.
Begin your adventure with pickup directly from your accommodation, whether you’re staying in Podgorica, Budva, Kotor, or along the Montenegrin coast. Sit back in a comfortable sedan as the road winds toward the highlands, revealing rivers, valleys, and peaks that grow taller with every turn.

Make your first stop at Biogradska Gora National Park, one of Europe’s last primeval forests. Take a peaceful walk around Biogradsko Lake, surrounded by towering beech trees and crisp mountain air. Listen as your local guide shares old legends of forest spirits and shepherd tales that bring the landscape to life.

During your visit, explore a small outdoor collection of traditional mountain tools, learning how locals once thrived in these harsh yet beautiful surroundings. See hand-carved wooden implements and snowshoes (krplje) used to cross deep snow, as well as an iron press once heated by coals to smooth clothing. These relics tell stories of resilience and craftsmanship passed through generations.

Continue to Kolašin, a charming mountain town where alpine life meets Ottoman heritage. Stroll through its peaceful streets before heading to Kolašin 1600 Ski Resort, where a cable car lifts you over 2,000 meters above sea level. From the summit, take in panoramic views of Bjelasica’s rugged peaks, dotted with shepherd huts and, at times, roaming wild horses.

Sip coffee or herbal tea on a wooden terrace overlooking the mountains, or, for adventurous spirits, choose a guided hike back down through the serene highland trails.

End your day with a traditional Montenegrin lunch in a mountain restaurant or shepherd’s hut. Taste roasted lamb or veal, homemade cheese, cicvara, and freshly baked bread, all prepared with locally sourced, organic ingredients. It’s not just a meal, but a tribute to the life and spirit of Montenegro’s mountain people.

As the sun sets, your private driver returns you comfortably to your accommodation, leaving you with vivid memories of ancient forests, timeless legends, and the untamed beauty of Montenegro’s highlands.
