Biking In Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro

A pioneering ride through the remote mountain regions of Bosnia & Herzegovina - the ultimate off road adventure

Although mountain biking is relatively new here, the spectacular scenery and extensive network of mountain trails provide the perfect destination for an adventurous route. The natural beauty of this region is truly stunning, with ancient forests, rugged peaks, hidden waterfalls and numerous alpine lakes where we can stop en route.

Challenging rides take us deep into the mountains along fast gravel tracks and exciting natural singletrack, passing small isolated settlements where the way of life has remained unchanged for centuries. Off the bikes there is time to explore Sarajevo, Bosnia's capital city that hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics, and the charming Mostar with its famous reconstructed bridge. Both cities are fascinating, with an ancient mix of European and Near Eastern culture, as well as their more recent wartime history. This will be an unforgettable week of riding.

What makes this trip responsible?

Tourism is extremely new here and we are helping to create a new possible career path for active individuals by bringing visitors to the region.

We support the economy of small villages and communities that we pass through, using their smaller restaurants, traders and shops. We will also be visiting an isolated mountain community where we enjoy a traditional lunch, directly benefitting the villagers themselves.
