Montenegro Hike report

Shoulder hike destination

Hopefully everyone’s been on Santa’s nice list!

Montenegro offers an incredible hike experience for the shoulder seasons…no crowds, secret trails, and SO MUCH history. It’s a special place and they even use the euro currency so it’s easy to get around.

Most visitors will likely have Kotor as a destination as the ancient walled city is a UNESCO world heritage site and fantastic.

The city is located right at the base of some very steep mountains with sweeping views of Boka Bay and if you get high enough you can see all the way to the Adriatic sea.

I would not advise these trails in July/August due to heat, but we had a great time in December.

If you’re in the area you can also take a guided hike of the even more rugged Durmitor National park.

July 2024 👉 Crave the Planet is offering a Guided Dolomites Hut to Hut Hiking Tour

I have reserved 9 spaces in high elevation huts in the Dolomites for a 4 day trip the last week of July 2024.

I’m offering the first chance to reserve to the email list and then opening it to the public. Please reply to this email if you’re interested for this amazing opportunity.

Note: This tour will not be on the Alta Via 1. I will be guiding the trip personally and we will be hiking in a more remote and less crowded area south of Cortina d’Ampezzo.
