The Olympic Center Jahorina is located on the majestic mountain of the Dinaric Alps, with its highest peak, Ogorjelica, reaching 1,916 meters above sea level.

This place, rich in natural beauty and modern facilities, maintains its status as the region’s leading tourist destination through continuous investment and constant improvement of its offerings, providing visitors with an unforgettable experience all year round.

Winter Season 2024/25: The Most Modern Ski Center in Southeast Europe

Jahorina greets the winter season 2024/25 with infrastructure that places it among the most advanced ski centers in Southeast Europe. Skiers can enjoy as much as 54 kilometers of alpine trails, each guaranteeing top-notch skiing conditions. The center features 19 vertical transport installations, with a total capacity of around 35,000 skiers per hour, reducing wait times at the lifts and allowing more time for enjoyment on the slopes.

In addition to daytime skiing, the Olympic Center Jahorina also offers a unique night skiing experience on 12 kilometers of illuminated trails. Thanks to the completion of a new lighting project, the Novak Đoković and Prača trails are now connected, allowing skiing in the evening hours on illuminated trails that meet all FIS standards.

Infrastructure and Innovations

One of the new additions for the youngest visitors is the fourth children’s training area, located above the Ogorjelica six-seater lift’s starting station. Equipped with a 52-meter conveyor belt, this area is perfect for children taking their first steps in skiing, as well as for families staying near accommodation facilities. The proximity of the infrastructure further enhances the comfort of staying on the mountain.

New ski depots at the base station of the Poljice gondola offer safe and convenient equipment storage. The depots are equipped with the modern Ski Data system, which allows for depot access via a ski pass. With heating and drying features, ski equipment will always be ready for the next ride.

Trail Improvements and Snow Assurance

Jahorina is covered by a modern artificial snow system, now encompassing 80% of the trails. The 30,000-cubic-meter accumulation lake on the Prača trail and the latest “SnowFactory” system ensure snow production regardless of outside temperatures, guaranteeing a high-quality winter season.

For snowboard enthusiasts, Jahorina offers a “Snowboard” park on the Trnovo trail, spanning 3,000 square meters, while sledging fans can enjoy a 600-meter sledding track. The ski kindergartens and ski schools of the “Olympic Center” are tailored to children and beginners, with professional instructors introducing them to the charms of winter sports.
