Discover Montenegro: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Tucked in between the Adriatic Sea, a tiny sliver of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo and Albania, this tiny former Yugoslav Republic is an outdoor adventurer’s paradise.

In the winter, its numerous mountains make for excellent ski touring and splitboarding. Snowshoeing and snowboarding are also popular in the mountains as well.

When the summer comes either head to one of the country’s world-class beaches on the coast or make your way into the mountains for more adventures. Montenegro offers excellent places for rock climbing, canyoning, hiking and mountain biking.

Back on the coast, you might also indulge in some kite surfing as well as kayaking in one of the country’s numerous outlets. Whatever it is you want to do, you’re sure to find it in Montenegro.

Stunning scenery

From the shimmering waters of the Adriatic Sea and the stunning sea cliffs around Kotor to the rocky mountains of the country’s rugged northeast, there is a surprisingly diverse amount of natural beauty in this small country. Whether you’re sitting on a beach in Bar or at the top of Sljeme, you’re in for a pleasant view.

Beautiful beaches

Both Budva and Bar are renowned for their beautiful beaches. Complete with white sand and tucked between the turquoise blue Adriatic Sea and green mountains, they easily rival the best Mediterranean beaches. Swim in the pleasantly warm Adriatic and back in the sun for a bit before or after your trip.

Come for Kotor

No trip to Montenegro is complete without a quick visit to Kotor. The downtown is inside an ancient Roman fort and you’re sure to be spellbound by the narrow cobblestone roads. Sip a coffee at one of the town’s many cafes then head hike up to the fort to get some spectacular views of the inlet and surrounding mountains.

During the summer, Montenegro has beautiful weather. Average daily temperatures are around 27ºC. It is, of course, a bit cooler at higher elevations. During the winter, temperatures hover around freezing, but do get colder in the mountains. For most of the year, the country is quite sunny, but it does get snow during the winter, which tends to stick until March.

Just about the only way to get to Montenegro is by flying into the international airport outside of Podgorica (TGD). It can be reached via transfers from most major European cities.
