Jahorina
The women's alpine skiing venue of the 1984 Winter Olympics, and the best-value ski resort in the Balkans, about an hour from the city.
Jahorina rises to about 1,916 meters, roughly 30 km southeast of Sarajevo in Republika Srpska. It offers about 40 km of pistes served by modern lifts, and lift tickets are far cheaper than in the Alps. In summer there are alpine coasters, mountain bike trails and meadow hiking. Several hotels stand on the mountain, but a day trip from Sarajevo is easy, and buses run during the ski season. Note: some mountain areas were mined during the war, so stay off the ski runs and do not venture into non-piste areas.
