STAR FILLED MOUNTAIN!

Recently three friends of ours from Riders.me spent the night on top of Savin Kuk mountain, the mountain which is situated nearby to our adventure base camp. Matija, Luka and Javork decided to do a time lapse video and take some amazing photos from the top of the mountain. With their tents packed they headed up the slopes with their tents packed to reach the 2,313 summit. The night air was very cold and high winds forced the adventure trio to take cover in the nearby ski lift hut at around 01.00 am; but the guys managed to take some fantastic photos and enjoyed the crisp sunset and sunrise, along with great skiing time on the way down! The nights at our camp bring incredible stars out for guests to gaze at and on clear nights the Milky way in the galaxy can even be seen! The beginning of spring has bought us lovely sunny weather and the snow is melting fast in Durmitor, perfectly in time for us to get everything together at our camp for a great 2017 season! We hope you enjoy their photos and see you all soon!

MOUNTAIN PARAGLIDING!

Savin Kuk mountain is situated right behind our camp in Durmitor and along with its stunning views it also offers an abundance of activities, such as snowboarding, skiing and trekking activities. In the summer our guests can take the cable cart to the top of Savin Kuk, which is included in our mountain bike activity day, where they can really get a feel for the mountain. However this winter our adrenaline friends at Riders.me used the mountain for the sport of Paragliding. The paragliding team said “the Zabljak plateau provides ideal conditions for learning basic steps of this sport and the massif of Durmitor is a great challenge for even the most experienced pilots. Since the ski resort Savin Kuk has a lift that works in the winter and summer months, the take-off is very easily accessible. Top Savin Kuk is on an altitude of 2,313 meters and it has a beautiful view of Durmitor and its regions, which contributes to the attractiveness of the take-off.”  They went on to say “when the conditions are good it is possible to take off and eventually rise to over 3,000 meters”. Paragliding is one of the youngest air sports and one of the easiest ways to make your dream of flying. In the last 15 years, this sport has very intensively developed and has become more prevalent in aviation sport as well as outdoor activities. When it comes to safety though the genre among the extreme sports, paragliding is a very safe sport. This safety primarily depends on the experience of the pilot, as the pilot is the one who decides in what conditions to fly. We hope you enjoy the pics.



            

NO LIMITS, LET’S GO BIKING!

Our mountain biking activity is a great day out for all our guests, to get closer to nature and experience the adrenaline and feeling of the mountains. The activity can be a little tough going, as we slowly climb the mountain gorge pass of the Piva Canyon. This road is considered to be the most scenic road in Montenegro, so it’s not a bad road to enjoy the stunning views and it helps in pushing you to keep going, even though your legs are telling you to stop! 🙂  The top at Sedlo which is at a height of 1,900 m, offers fantastic views of the mountains. Some of our guests found it a little tough going, some loved it, and some wanted even more so we went further! We welcome all our guests to enjoy this beautiful sport. Hope you enjoy some of the snaps from last season!
