Audio Guide of Green Mountain

As a natural area in the Bjelasica mountain range (Zelena Glava), access is open 24 hours a day, although visiting during daylight hours is strongly recommended. The most common starting point is from the town of Kolašin, reachable by car or through organized local tours.

Hiking in the peaks is usually free, but if you enter through the protected area of Biogradska Gora National Park, admission is €4 per person. Children under 7 usually enter free of charge, which makes it ideal for family visits.

For a full experience that includes hiking to the viewpoints and enjoying nature, I recommend allowing at least half a day (4 to 5 hours). If your plan is more relaxed and closer to the base, 2 hours will give you a good impression of the landscape.

This area is unique for its volcanic origin, unlike the gray limestone found across the rest of the country, which allows it to retain water and remain incredibly green—hence its name. It is a vital lung and a refuge for one of the last primeval forests in Europe.

To see Green Mountain at its finest, the months from June to September are ideal thanks to the mild weather and active plant life. If you prefer snow and skiing, the Kolašin area is perfect between January and March.

The ascent to the peaks of Green Mountain is rugged mountain terrain and is not suitable for wheelchairs. However, the lower areas around Lake Biograd have flatter paths that offer a certain degree of accessibility with assistance.

You are very close to the stunning Lake Biograd, which is a must-see. You can also explore Morača Monastery or enjoy local cuisine in the town of Kolašin.

The weather in Montenegro’s mountains changes very quickly; always bring a rain jacket and trekking boots even if the day starts sunny. Do not forget to carry enough water, as there are no points of sale in the higher areas.
