Winter sports become popular in winter, such as downhill skiing and snowboarding. In Kolašin and Zabljak you can entirely enjoy these sports. Always check the weather before plan the trip. It differs from year to year. It is considered that skiing season starts in the middle of January/beginning of February and ends in March. But the weather may decide differently.
The Montenegrins divide these resorts easily. They consider that Kolasin is better from the point of view of infrastructure, and Zabljak is richer with nature.
