An eternal synonym for a skiing challenge, the mountain Jahorina can be proud of the fact that people have skied here since the Austro-Hungarian period of rule. The first hotel on the mountain 'Šator' (tent) was built in 1923, when the first skis were brought here. The first skiing club ‘SKI’ was opened in 1928 and represents the beginning of the development of ski sports in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It experienced a boom in 1984 when the 14th Winter Olympic Games were held in Sarajevo and the competitions for alpine skiing for women were held on this Olympic beauty.

The highest mountain peak is Ogorjelica at an altitude of 1,916 meters. It belongs to the Dinara mountain chain.

Jahorina is one of the largest and most beautiful winter tourist centers in the Balkans, with large snow covered pastures that represent a real challenge for skiers. It is also a popular destination for people who ride sleighs, snowboarders, climbers, hikers and those who collect medicinal plants. The mountain is very popular in the winter and in the summer. You will find 20 kilometers of well-prepared ski slopes with 2 six-seaters, 4 ski lifts and 3 two-seaters during the winter season. Yet this mountain pearl is open to visitors throughout the year, because those who do not enjoy the winter and the joys of snow will always find a beautiful summer waiting for them on Jahorina.
