About
Kolašin is a mountain municipality in northern Montenegro, set among the high ranges that make this part of the country a destination in its own right. It is best known as a base for the mountains around it, and for the outdoor life that follows from them.
What draws visitors
- Bjelasica, a mountain range close to the town, offering walking and wide views over the surrounding highlands.
- Komovi, another range in the wider area, suited to those who want quieter, more remote country.
- Skiing in winter, which gives the town its seasonal rhythm.
- Outdoor recreation more generally, from hiking to simply spending time in open mountain landscape.
What kind of visit it makes
Kolašin suits travellers who come for the landscape and for being active in it. It is less a place of monuments and more a place to stay for a few days, with the mountains as the main attraction. Those planning a trip should check the season, since the snow sports and the walking routes depend heavily on the time of year, and should allow for travel times in mountainous terrain.
Visitors who enjoy combining the outdoors with a slower pace will find that the town works well as a starting point. Staying here gives easy access to both ranges, and the open country around the municipality rewards those who prefer space and quiet to a busy city.
