Description

Don’t miss your chance to climb the tallest mountain in Montenegro and enjoy amazing views of the beautiful landscape along the way. Join one of our excellent guides on a 3-day adventure of a lifetime as you climb Bobotov Kuk.

The Bobotov Kuk mountain sits within the Durmitor Massif in the Dinaric Alps. As it’s the highest peak in the country, you’ll get some pretty awesome views from the top.

Our trip will begin with a hike around Black Lake. This lake is the biggest glacier lake close to the mountain and is surrounded by a beautiful pine forest.

On our second day, we’ll tackle the ascent of Bobotov Kuk. This is quite a physically demanding hike. All together, we’ll be hiking for around 7 hours. Along the way, we’ll pass through some pretty spectacular scenery.

You’ll be glad you made the effort when you make it to the top of Bobotov Kuk. You’ll enjoy a spectacular panoramic view from above of the many glacier lakes below, or what we call the “eyes of the mountain”.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival and Black Lake climb

We’ll pick you up at Dubrovnik Airport and take you to Nikšić. There you’ll enjoy a welcome lunch with your guide before checking into your chalet in the highlands of Central Montenegro.

Once you’re all settled in, we’ll take a hike around the Black Lake. After you’ve worked up an appetite, you’ll enjoy a lovely dinner back at the chalet.

Day 2: The climb

After breakfast, we’ll drive to the starting point for our ascent, the Katun Dobri Do trailhead at 1700m.

This hike is challenging and it will take us a few hours to reach the summit. At the top, there will be plenty of time to take photos before we head back down. When we get back to the chalet, we’ll enjoy a nice dinner together.

Day 3: Your final day

We’ll take it easy on your last day. You’ll have time to enjoy your breakfast and the views around you before we drive you back to the airport.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
