The program has two parts:
You can join the first and/or the second week.
Week 1 (Skiing)
February 11, 14:00
We meet at Tivat Airport, where two direct flights from Moscow arrive (flight time is just over 3 hours).
A comfortable transfer takes us from the airport to the ski resort of Žabljak, whose best-known slope, Savin Kuk, is 2,300 m high and over 3,500 m long. We check in at the SOA Spa Hotel, which has a sauna and a wellness center.
After a snack, we’ll still have time for evening skiing from 18:00 to 22:00.
Those who wish can rent equipment and hire an instructor to brush up their skills. We’ll stay here for 3 days to get to know everything this resort has to offer.
February 14, 2017, 11:00
We check out and gather in the hotel lobby to set off for another modern high-altitude resort, Kolašin. After a 1 hour 40 minute drive, we arrive at the eco-style Villa Bjelasica, where guests can enjoy a spa, massage, billiards and even darts!
Evening skiing here starts at 19:00, so we’ll have time for a good walk and a rest before conquering new peaks. Kolašin has 7 runs with a total length of 15 km; the longest run is 4.5 km. In 2008, Kolašin was bought by Beppler & Jacobson and then completely re-equipped and reorganized. That’s why Kolašin is the most modern, developed and well-equipped resort in Montenegro, meeting all current European quality and safety standards.
February 18, 2017, 10:00
We say goodbye to the slopes and head to the Adriatic coast to continue our journey aboard a sailing yacht.

Week 2 (Sailing)
February 18, 2017, 16:00: Kotor
After enjoying the slopes to the full, we descend to the Bay of Kotor on the Adriatic coast and move onto the sailing yacht that will be our home for the next week. The yachts are moored at the town piers of the Old Town, but before boarding there’s time to get to know this charming town.
We spend the night aboard to get used to life on the yacht, stock up on fresh water and provisions, and early in the morning, after checking the weather forecast, we set off.
The total length of our route will be about 100 nautical miles. In good weather, we’ll sail from Kotor to the town of Bar, near the Albanian border, and back. This point lies 40 miles south of Dubrovnik, and even in winter the temperature here is quite comfortable, no lower than +10°C. Our flotilla consists of several sailing yachts, Oceanis 45 and 48 feet, about 14 meters long.
Each yacht accommodates up to 10 people. The boats have everything you need: comfortable beds, bed linen, a galley, a fridge with a freezer, 2 heads on each yacht, and plenty of fresh water and fuel. For the especially hot-blooded, there’s snorkeling gear and a swim platform; the water temperature here doesn’t drop below 17°C, even in winter. Our experienced team will help you choose the right clothing for the sea adventure in advance.
Pleasant warm weather and the rustle of wind in the sails await us. Every day we’ll have a short sail and an excursion to amazing corners of Montenegro: an 1853 fort that covers about 80% of its own island, and a church on top of a cliff that you can climb to admire the surroundings. By tradition, passing sailors ring its bell using long ropes hanging down from the cliff. We’ll visit abandoned tunnels where submarines were based during the Balkan conflict.
We’ll sail up to Žanjice, one of the most famous beaches, reachable only by water. The dazzling white pebble beach is a local landmark and a favorite family spot. We’ll spend the night here after a dinner of freshly caught fish. Over the week, we’ll visit the most beautiful fishing villages, fish markets, caves, forts, churches and islands along the coast.
By the evening of February 24, 2017, we’ll return to our home port of Kotor, and from there head home with a store of new impressions that, believe us, will last you a long time!
