About

S'élevant majestueusement au-dessus de Sarajevo, le Mont Igman a servi de lieu pour les Jeux olympiques d'hiver de 1984 et offre des sentiers de randonnée spectaculaires à travers des forêts pristines. La montagne procure des vues panoramiques à couper le souffle sur la vallée de Sarajevo et les sommets environnants, tandis que ses tunnels de guerre et ses mémoriaux racontent des histoires puissantes de résilience durant le siège des années 1990. Les amateurs d'aventure peuvent profiter du ski en hiver ou explorer le réseau de sentiers qui mènent à des sources cachées et des refuges de montagne traditionnels.

Igman is a mountain rising above Sarajevo, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its slopes lie close enough to the city that a visit can easily be combined with time in the capital, while its higher ground feels far removed from the streets below.

What the mountain offers

Hiking: Marked trails lead through pristine forest, suiting walkers who want quiet woodland and open views.

Panoramas: Lookout points give broad views over the Sarajevo valley and the surrounding peaks.

Winter sport: Skiing is available in the colder months, and the mountain is the place where the 1984 Winter Olympics held some of their events.

History on the slopes

Igman carries the memory of the 1990s siege of Sarajevo. Wartime tunnels and memorials on and around the mountain tell the story of the people who lived through that period. Visitors who take time to see them will find that the mountain is as much a place of remembrance as of recreation, and a visit can be quiet and reflective as well as active.

Whether Igman suits you depends on what you want from a day out. If you enjoy walking in forest, looking across a valley, or learning about the recent past alongside the landscape, it is well worth the trip from Sarajevo.
