Splitboarding in Montenegro: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Montenegro is located in the Southeast of Europe, resting on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. It is bordered to the North by Bosnia and Herzegovina, to the East by Serbia and Kosovo, to the South by Albania, and to the west by Croatia. The ancient lands of the country hold a collection of outside cultural influences, including the empires of both Byzantine and Ottoman, the federation of Yugoslavia, and a number of periods of independence.

Due to the small size of the country, the capital city of Podgorica is a good place to start when heading towards the splitboarding regions.

Some of the splitboarding can be quite challenging, so being fit and in decent shape before arriving will maximise enjoyment of the activity.

The villages, towns and cities in Montenegro are full of fascinating and rich histories and culture which they are very proud of, providing endless hours of exploration and discovery, thus ensuring there is always something to see and do.

The effects of the relatively recent war in the 1990’s still permeate some areas, so please be sensitive when bringing up this issue.

Wide Array of Terrain

Although the size of the country is small, Montenegro is packed-full of stunning landscapes, from its Western coastlines to Northern highlands. There’s a fantastic collection of mountains and canyons in Montenegro, where you can discover sleepy villages scattered across ancient chestnut forests, and find long-forgotten mule roads that present incredible natural views.

Remote, Isolated Skiing Spots

The northern sections of the country stand at the centre of Montenegro’s mountain tourism, and although around 90 percent of the country’s terrain is covered with mountains, it is still relatively unknown for international tourism.

With UNESCO-protected spots dotted around, this means there are large tracts of open, sweeping and epic slopes to splitboard on.

Biodiversity

The intoxicating blend of climate, landscape and geography creates a unique biological diversity in Montenegro, which is now considered to be a European hotspot. An abundance of freshwater fish, flocks of bird species, and the protected species of Eurasian brown bear all call Montenegro home, as well as the immense flora that covers much of the landscape and terrain.

The climate of Montenegro varies from Mediterranean along the coast regions to continental as you move more inland. Here the winters are cooler given the higher altitude. And in the far north, the highlands resemble an alpine climate.
