The region around capital Sarajevo was the site of the 1984 Winter Olympics, so there are definitely some good slopes here. The largest winter resort is Jahorina, a 40-minute drive southeast of Sarajevo and home in ’84 to the women’s women’s alpine skiing events, it’s had a checkered history, for example during the Bosnian war of the early 1990s its pine forests landmined; fortunately those days are long gone. The highest of the eight lifts (including a new six-seater) rises to 1,894m (6,214 ft.), and there are 25km (nearly 16 mi.) of slopes. Lodging-wise there’s a mix of pensions and updated older hotels, with several restaurants and watering holes to go along with them. And don’t forget to make a visit to Sarajevo’s charming 15th-century old quarter, Baščaršija.
