Want to enjoy the beauty of the Accursed Mountains from horseback? Join us on our horseback riding adventure! This adventure offers a whole new experience in the Accursed Mountain Range. For centuries, these mountains were traversed on horseback. Shepherds and their families would spend their summers in the mountains herding sheep and going to and from on the back of their trusty steed. Today, we pay homage to those who came before us with our horseback riding adventure.
ABOUT THE TOUR
This horseback riding tour will be an all day event. We will start with a short jeep ride up into the mountains to meet the horses. After getting familiar with the animals we will hit the trail. This trail will take you through some of the best riding that the region has to offer, which just happen to be the same trails used to ride on for centuries. The highlight of this adventure is connecting with your horse and the nature around you.

Join us for a back country skiing adventure in Montenegro! Filled with fresh powder and breathtaking backdrops, this tour is one for the books! The Accursed Mountain Range offers terrain for every riding style. We specialize in one day and multi-day tours customized to your preferences and skill level.
Background
The backcountry ski scene in Bogicevica, Montenegro is new and rapidly growing due to local legends blazing the trail at the Bogicevica Ski Club. These riders started off with nothing. No mentors, no gear, just a passion for skiing and a whole lot of heart. Boot packing it to the top of mountains and learning how to ski on whatever gear they could piece together, they made this tour possible.
Now, Balkan Mountain Adventure Company has embodied this spirit in our backcountry skiing adventure and build upon the dream of those who came before us. This tour is about embracing the spirit of skiing and riding amazing lines in our beautiful backyard playground.
how much is it?
These adventures are highly customized so price will depend on the amount of days you want to ski, where you want to ski, how many people are in your group and what gear you need to rent. Fill out the contact form below for a quote.
Why ski with us?
We are powder hounds who embody the spirit of backcountry skiing. Our winters are spent studying the terrain and finding the best lines. We have a burning passion to share this joy with other riders like us.
What about saftey?
Your safety is our highest concern. We take conditions into consideration on a daily basis and only ride where our experienced guides deem safe. Avalanche gear including ABS backpack, beacon, shovel and probe are required. Rental options are available.
Can I ride?
If you have skiing/ snowboarding experience and are in good basic condition, yes! Unfortunately, the backcountry is not a place to learn to ride, so for your safety, experience is required.
