MONTENEGRO
Five days, one base, zero packing. From a mountain hotel in Žabljak, you fly across Europe’s deepest canyon, raft the turquoise Tara River and summit two of Durmitor’s great peaks.
Your guide meets you at Podgorica Airport for the drive north through the Morača canyon to the Đurđevića Tara Bridge. Here you clip in and fly across the canyon on one of the longest ziplines in the Balkans.
You reach Žabljak, the highest town in the Balkans, in the afternoon. After check-in, an easy walk around Black Lake introduces you to Durmitor National Park. Dinner at a traditional mountain restaurant.
Overnight: 4★ hotel, Žabljak
A short drive brings you to the Sedlo Pass, where the trail climbs through a lunar landscape of limestone and old snowfields to Bobotov Kuk (2,523 m). From the top, the whole Durmitor massif spreads around you, with canyons dropping away on every side. Packed lunch on the trail, sauna or free time in the evening.

Firstly you will see deepest canyon in Europe, second in the world: the canyon of the Tara River. Then transfer takes you nearby to the rafting base on the Tara. After a safety briefing and a full kit of neoprene suit, helmet and life jacket, you set off with licensed guides through rapids, waterfalls and calm pools beneath canyon walls more than 1,000 metres high. Lunch is a riverside barbecue of grilled trout, veal, beans and homemade bread. The afternoon is free to swim or rest at the riverside ethno camp before returning to Žabljak.

You hike from the Dobri Do valley up to Prutaš (2,393 m), whose tilted, striped rock layers make it one of the most photographed peaks in Montenegro. From the top, you look across to Bobotov Kuk, which you climbed two days ago. The farewell dinner is at a mountain eco-village, with lamb, kačamak and homemade rakija.

Your first afternoon begins with a flight of more than a kilometre across the canyon, up to 170 metres above the river, with the arches of the Đurđevića Tara Bridge beside you.
Licensed crews guide you through rapids, waterfalls and calm emerald pools beneath limestone walls, with a riverside barbecue of trout and veal waiting on the bank.
Bobotov Kuk (2,523 m) is the classic summit of the massif. Prutaš (2,393 m), with its striped rock slabs, is the most photographed. You climb both, with an easier lake option on each day.

Lunch is a riverside barbecue of grilled trout, veal, beans and homemade bread, with the afternoon free to swim or rest at the riverside ethno camp.
The tilted, striped rock layers of Prutaš make it one of the most photographed peaks in Montenegro. The farewell dinner is at a mountain eco-village, with lamb, kačamak and homemade rakija.
