At the end of September, my friend Heli Gargitter arrived with a group from the Dolomites - South Tyrol for another trip through Montenegro.The tour started at Žabljak, Durmitor National Park, where we reached the highest peak Bobotov Kuk, over Bjelasica and Prokletije, through the Morača and Mrtvica canyons, to the old royal capital of Cetinje and the beautiful Boka Kotorska bay...

Six days full of action,fun and adventures with a group of 11 skiers from Dolomites, led by mountain guide Heli Gargitter, on the mountains without any traces of human presence during the winter, plus two relaxed days we spent by learning more about the culture and history of Montenegro in old historic capital Cetinje and in Kotor, an old town in the Boka Kotorska bay, under UNESCO protection, where we as also enjoyed the good fish restaurants. 


 " ..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.."
