Description
Sitting just north of Mostar, in the heart of the Dinaric Alps, the Čvrsnica massif makes for a great ski touring destination!
Composed of various summits with an elevation of 1,000 metres or more, including the highest one –Pločno, at 2,228 metres – the Čvrsnica massif boasts plenty of incredible routes to explore and unspoiled powder to enjoy.
The adventure begins after we meet up at your accommodation in Mostar in the morning and transfer to the trailhead in Blidinje Natural Park.
From here, the trail takes us through a high forest, after which we emerge above the tree line and continue skiing until we reach Vilinac Mountain Hut in the evening.
The next day, we will continue ski touring through the central part of Čvrsnica, making a 500-metre ascent to a lookout with simply incredible views of the highest peaks on the massif.
After taking in the view, we will begin to ski back to the trailhead via a different route. Once we're out, we will enjoy some hot and local Herzegovinian food at a national restaurant before transferring back to Mostar.
For those who wish to spend a few extra days exploring the massif, we can extend the trip by a day or two and explore various other huts and parts of the massif. (Prices vary accordingly.)

Hiking Guide
Welcome to your Herzegovina Hiking Adventure. My name is Miroslav Mihalj, born in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I am the current president of the Croatian Mountaineering Association “Prenj 1933 Mostar”, certified Mountain Guide and Rescuer and I offer hiking, snowshoeing and ski touring tours around this beautiful region.
As mountain hiker I am proud to have climbed some of the highest peaks in Europe and Balkans as well as local peaks in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which I have climbed numerous times both in winter and summer.
I enjoy nature, that feeling of freedom and serenity the mountains offer. They are a place to find yourself and push your boundaries. I’m lucky to have been born in a place surrounded by beautiful and intact mountain ranges hiding the most exciting nature my country has to offer.
Very much excited to meet you and share with you this truly wonderful world!

Sara
We really enjoyed our trip with our guide Mijo. He was extremely good in communicating at WhatsApp and very flexible. We ended our trip in a beautiful river with amazing surrounding view. I can highly recommend to do some hiking in the mountains around Mostar, really worth it.
Peter
Due to lack of snow the trip became a hike instead of a snowshoeing trip. Nevertheless it was an awesome experience in pristine mountain area. Miroslav was great. We didn’t meet another sole the full 22km and the lunch stop at the mountain hut was excellent.
Lewis
Miroslav was a fantastic guide. We wanted to see Outlaw’s Gate up Čvrsnica but didn’t know where to begin, including how to get to the trailhead. Miroslav picked us up from Mostar and took us up to the top. Friendly, knowledgable and funny, we always felt at ease with his expertise on the route. Miroslav is the best guide in Herzegovina - cheers!
Alessandra
My brother and I had a great day hiking with Miroslav, it was a beautiful route and matched my expectations in terms of difficulty. Miroslav patiently answered all my brother’s questions on the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina!
Isabell
I enjoyed my time with Miroslav a lot! He is a great person and an even greater tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about the whole mountain area around Mostar (and more) and very professional. He made me feel comfortable the whole time and adapted the tour spontaneously to my needs and wishes, which I appreciated a lot! So at the end we even did a beautiful via ferrata which was not the original plan and I loved it so much! He also brings local food a is so knowledgeable about history and other interesting things about Bosnia and Herzegowina. We had good conversations and a great time together! Thank you Miroslav!!:)
