Jahorina, an impressive mountain stretching approximately 30 kilometers in length and 15 kilometers in width, is part of the Dinaric mountain range and is a true gem of the Balkans. Its peak, Ogorjelica, rises to 1,916 meters above sea level, making this mountain one of the highest in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Due to its location and climate, Jahorina stands out as one of the most popular destinations for winter sports in the region.
The mountain is enveloped by dense coniferous forests, especially on its northern side, where the forest extends up to 1,700 meters in elevation. The Gole Jahorine plateau and its southern side offer open views and forest-free areas, further enhancing the unique beauty of this mountain massif. Thanks to its distinctive microclimate, Jahorina accumulates a rich snow cover during winter, providing ideal conditions for skiing and other winter activities.
Jahorina began attracting skiers as early as 1923 when the first skis were brought to the mountain. Since then, it has become an essential destination for winter sports enthusiasts, with its international reputation further solidified by hosting the Winter Olympic Games in 1984. During those Games, Jahorina was the venue for alpine events, and the infrastructure built at that time laid the foundation for its continued development as one of the leading winter centers in the region.
Today, Jahorina boasts an extensive network of ski slopes totaling over 45 kilometers in length, catering to all levels of skiers—from beginners to advanced athletes. The Olympic Center Jahorina has been modernized and equipped with three six-person chairlifts, two two-person lifts, and four ski lifts, with a transportation capacity of 13,000 skiers per hour. For cross-country skiing enthusiasts, there are 10 kilometers of Nordic trails available in Dvorišta, further enhancing the variety of offerings.
Jahorina, in addition to its natural beauty and rich skiing tradition, offers a variety of activities throughout the year. In the summer, the mountain becomes a favorite destination for hikers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts looking to enjoy fresh air and spectacular views.
At the heart of this mountain paradise is Hotel Sport Granzov, located at the perfect ski-in, ski-out location. This hotel, built with passion and love for the mountain and sports by the Granzov family, is an ideal place for those looking to spend an unforgettable vacation on Jahorina.
