Kolasin 1600 Ski Resort

Kolašin 1600 is a newer ski area on Mt Bjelasica above the town of Kolašin, with a base at ~1600 m. Since 2021/22, it has been linked by lifts and pistes with neighboring Kolašin 1450 into a single ski domain.

• Official opening on 16 February 2019 – the first resort in a planned Bjelasica network.
• Distances – ~12 km from Kolašin and ~85 km from Podgorica – easy access via E65/E80.
• Combined Kolašin 1450/1600 domain – over 45 km of groomed pistes, Montenegro’s largest.
• 10 lifts across the domain, centered on modern 6-seater chairlifts – high capacity and comfort.
• Upper terrain is wide, treeless alpine slopes; below ~1,800 m pistes run through forest clearings – variety for all levels.

• The 1600 base plateau with beginner zones and blue/red pistes.
• Broad Bjelasica panoramas on upper runs and connectors to the 1450 sector.
• Summer operations: selected lifts, signed hiking and MTB routes.

In 2021/22, a new 6-seater chairlift and linking pistes connected it to Kolašin 1450, forming Montenegro’s largest ski area with top elevations above 2,000 m and further extensions planned.
