" ..I had an oportunity to met Vanja during a climbing trip in 2008. I work together with him for a few years, we organise climbing, trekking and skitouring tours in beautiful Montenegro.Participants and I were always very satisfied with the perfect work he did: guiding, organising and with information about his country. He knows also very well what mountain people like during trip.He is not only a guide in Montenegrian mountain, he is a person with very nice character and it is always enjoyment to travel with him.."
- Helmut Gargitter, mountain guide, Italy
"..did not know much about Montenegro when I decided to join a trip for skitouring.. but it sounded wild and mystical to me, with a great range of potential adventures..even for weekend pioneers like me. And with Vanja on our side, we didn't get only a guiding and perfectly organized trip, but a friend, proud and prepared to share his knowledge about his country with us..
what to say about skitouring in Montenegro..have a look at the pictures and imagine that there are plenty of opportunities..stay there as long as you can, you will hardly get that much of untouched firn and powder slopes again.."
- Hannes Kathrein, Italy
Herbst in Montenegro, Trekkingtour
Skitourwoche
Die Berge Montenegros locken jedes Jahr mehr und mehr Skifahrer. In diesem Jahr gab es nicht viel Schnee in den Alpen und den Dolomiten, während die Schneemenge hierzulande kein Problem war. Das was noch ein Grund nach Montenegro zu kommen um die unberührten weißen Hänge zu geniessen. Eine Gruppe von 10 Personen, unter Leitung von Bergführer Hermann Tauber aus Süd-Tirol, besuchte das Land in der letzten Woche von März. Wir genossen das hervorragende Wetter, die guten Schneebedingungen, die schöne und warme Unterkunft und das ausgezeichnete Essen. Wir hatten das Glück, die erste Skiabfahrt von dem Gipfel Jablanov Vrh auf Sinjajevina zu machen. Montenegro ist ein Land voller Kontraste, natürlicher und kultureller Vielfalt. Am Morgen fuhren wir Ski vom Gipfel Troglava im Bjelasica-Gebirge, später lernten wir die Kultur und Geschichte des Morača-Klosters kennen, sowie auch Cetinje, die alte historische Hauptstadt, und Kotor. Und lassen wir nicht den Skadarsee vergessen, einen anderen Nationalpark. Der Tag wurde mit einer köstlichen Fischmahlzeit in Budva abgeschlossen - und das alles an einem Tag!
"It was a wonderfull week with great weather and perfect snow conditions. Thank you, Vanja, for the great tours, the delicious food, good accommodations and the perfect organisations of the trip! I am sure we'll meet again next year for a ski and trekking week!"
- Hermann Tauber, mountain guide, Sud Tirol
Montenegro Skitouringwoche
" To climb mountains in Montenegro with the touring skis was a special experience for all of us, because in the Alps you can hardly find such a beautiful landscape with no people at all! That mean, off course, to enjoy tranquility and untouched slopes with greasy, smooth snow. In some parts we were even the first to descent by skis. Thanks to Vanja, we also got to know a lot about daily life, culture, history and politics in Montenegro. A really unforgettable trip!"

"As a Swiss mountain guide, I organize trips abroad and was looking for a leader in Montenegro. When I was in Montenegro last year, I knew emmediately that I was very lucky to meet Vanja. In September this year I was with the group of 15 people travelling with him, my impression has been confirmed. The cooperation with him was great and the group was enthusiastic about him. Experience in leading groups was very impressive for me. He's quite and very responsible. We have made hikes in Prokletije, Komovi, Zijevo, Durmitor and on the coast. The people and the fantastic areas made our stay to a great experience. Montenegro is close to my heart. I am looking forward to meet Vanja next year again. Thanks a lot!"

" To this tour I would give the name "the beauty of colors and variety", a real pleasure! Hiking through a shady, cool beech wood we arrived at a wide open plateau wich slopes lighted towards us in the brightes autumn colors. This was Indian summer in Montenegro! Far above us we spied the ridge wich we reached finally from time to rime on all fours. What a view! Far below us we saw villages in Albania, the ridhe on wich we walked along was the border: one foot in Albania and other in Montenegro, funny idea! With the next ascent we reached at the top of the ridge. And again a most fantastic view: far down below us a very solitary Alps and very close to us the next gigantic mountain chain, the "Monte negro" in the real meaning of the word "black mountain". Over white shiny rocks we reached again the slopes of Indian summer and with last melancholy look back we proceded into the forest back down into the valley. With good beer and "zivjeli" (prost)"
