Bjelašnica
The men's alpine skiing venue of the 1984 Winter Olympics. A winter ski resort and, in summer, the starting point for hikes to highland villages.
The main peak of Bjelašnica rises to about 2,067 meters, roughly 25 km southwest of Sarajevo. In winter it rivals Jahorina as a ski resort and offers night skiing. In summer it is the starting point for hikes and off-road drives to highland villages, with the classic routes leading to Lukomir village and the Rakitnica Canyon. At the foot of the mountain, the ski village has hotels and restaurants where you can sample local highland cheese and roast lamb. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from the city.
