History

Skiing here started with the “Jezerine” center opened in 1991; later the area was branded “Bjelasica” and finally Kolašin 1450, developing step-by-step on Bjelasica’s slopes above town.

A new neighboring area, Kolašin 1600, opened in 2019; in 2021/22 the two were interconnected by a chairlift and slopes, creating Montenegro’s largest ski domain with further expansion plans.
