Mountaineering in Durmitor National Park & Prokletije, Montenegro (10 days)

If you join me on this 10-day mountaineering trip we will be exploring some of the prettiest and most breath-taking mountains in all of Europe, as we ascend multiple 2000m plus peaks, visit vast and open canyons and take in the gorgeous scenery of lush green forests, tranquil lakes, and even ice cliffs and glaciers, all in Durmitor National Park and Prokletije, Montenegro.

Durmitor National Park is located in the Northwest of the country, and Prokletije in the South, and both are renowned throughout the country for their excellent outdoor activity conditions, both in Winter and Summer.

We meet on the first day in Slovenia, where we hit the road and drive down to Montenegro through Croatia and Bosnia. Zabljak is our starting point, the highest town in the Balkans, and our main base for the subsequent 3 days of exploring Durmitor National Park.

We will be ascending a different 2000m + peak every day we are in Durmitor National Park, each with different characteristics and terrain, and we will also be visiting the mesmerizing Leden pecine ice cliffs, as well as the exquisite Canyon Nevidio and all the nearby lakes.

We then head to the Proklejite National Park on day 6, a massive expanse that reaches the Albanian border, and much like in Durmitor, every day will be devoted to ascending a 2000m+ peak, including one day where we cross the border and climb one in Albania. The scenery is equally as spectacular here as in Durmitor, with the rolling green hills and peaceful lakes making for an epic view.

The 10th and last day is spent driving back to Slovenia via a refreshing swim in the Adriatic Sea, hopefully having given you memories to last a lifetime and inspired you to know more about the underrated gem that is Montenegro.
