Katun Durutovac

As the site is car-free, guests will need to take the shuttle into Kolašin (three kilometres away) before embarking on grand adventures. Using Kolašin as a starting point, then, be sure to spend at least a few hours getting to know the town. As well as the Sport Turist offices, there are a host of shops and restaurants on pretty streets, and the privately owned Dulovina botanical gardens are primed for an explore. If that latter sparks interest in more days out in nature, the site is well-placed for forays into some of Montenegro’s spectacularly scenic national parks. The closest is Biogradska Gora (20 minutes’ drive from Kolašin) – where visitors should opt for boat rides on the lake, hikes around the forest, and clambers about mountains and glaciers – and Durmitor is an hour and 45 minutes away. To get a further taste of Montenegrin history and culture, make a pitstop at the stunning Morača Monastery (25 minutes from Kolašin) before travelling onwards to capital city Podgorica (and hour and 15 minutes) for parks, famed bridges over the Morača river, museums, a small zoo and a casino.
