Fly into Podgorica, Tivat, or Tirana, where your pickup is waiting. From there it’s a transfer up to Kolašin, the mountain town that serves as our base for the first half of the trip. Check into the 4-star Bianca Resort & Spa and take some time to settle in before we all meet up. Together we’ll get the bikes ready, sort out saddle height and any other adjustments, run through your gear, and talk over what’s coming in the days ahead. Dinner at the hotel wraps up the evening.

Meals: Dinner
Accommodation: 4-star Bianca Resort & Spa, Kolašin

After breakfast we transfer to Ljubaštica and get rolling on our first ride. The route heads towards the sharp peaks of the Komovi Mountains and the summer settlement of Stavna, then carries on through remote terrain towards Bjelasica. Most of it follows gravel and old mountain roads, which makes it a good way to get a feel for the e-MTBs, and there’s optional natural singletrack if you want something more technical. We carry lunch boxes and pick a good spot in the mountains to stop and eat. From around Ključ, a long descent takes us all the way back into Kolašin.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch box, dinner
Distance: ~45 km (28 mi)
Elevation: +1,300 m (+4,265 ft)
Accommodation: Bianca Resort & Spa, Kolašin

A short transfer of about 30 minutes after breakfast brings us to Biogradsko Lake, right in the heart of Biogradska Gora National Park. We start riding from the water’s edge, surrounded by one of Montenegro’s finest forests, before climbing up onto the open plateaus of Bjelasica. Gravel and mountain roads make up most of the day, with several singletrack options we can add depending on how the group is riding and what the trails are like. Lunch is the highlight: a traditional katun stop for homemade cheese and dairy, pies, fresh bread, vegetables, potatoes, and locally prepared meat. Then we ride back to Kolašin.

Meals: Breakfast, traditional mountain lunch, dinner
Distance: ~50 km (31 mi)
Elevation: +1,200 to 1,400 m (+3,937 to 4,593 ft)
Accommodation: Bianca Resort & Spa, Kolašin

After breakfast, a transfer of about an hour brings us to the Accursed Mountains, or Prokletije, right where Montenegro, Kosovo, and Albania meet. This is the wildest corner of the whole trip. We ride mostly gravel mountain roads through remote valleys and wide-open highland terrain, with optional natural singletrack for anyone who wants a bit more bite. Today isn’t about technical riding, it’s about poking around a border region almost nobody gets to see by bike, with long views out to the surrounding peaks and one of the least-developed mountain areas in the Balkans. We carry lunch boxes and eat somewhere with a view, then head back to Kolašin once the ride is done.

Today the trip turns properly point-to-point. We check out after breakfast, hand our bags to the support vehicle, and cover the entire distance to our next hotel by bike. The route crosses the vast Sinjajevina plateau, one of the most striking high-mountain landscapes in Montenegro: rolling grasslands, remote gravel roads, shepherd settlements, and long stretches with almost nothing built on them. At roughly 70 km (43 mi), this is the longest stage of the trip, though the e-MTBs mean we can take it in rather than race it. We stop at a traditional summer village for lunch, then keep rolling across the plateau towards Žabljak and Durmitor National Park, where our luggage is already waiting.

Meals: Breakfast, traditional mountain lunch, dinner
Distance: ~70 km (43 mi)
Terrain: Predominantly gravel and remote mountain roads
Accommodation: 3-star Hotel Zlatni Bor, Žabljak

Four riding days in a row is enough for anyone’s legs, so today the bikes stay behind. We head to the Tara River instead for a day of rafting through the Tara Canyon, following clear water between forested canyon walls with a few lively whitewater sections thrown in. Still outdoors, still moving, just a completely different way to see this part of the country. Afterwards we drive back to Žabljak, and the rest of the afternoon is yours to put your feet up and recover before dinner at the hotel.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Accommodation: 3-star Hotel Zlatni Bor, Žabljak

Legs refreshed after the river, we swing back onto the bikes for a day in Durmitor National Park. The Six Lakes route links a string of mountain lakes and landscapes around the Durmitor massif, and instead of one big climb followed by one big descent, it’s a varied cross-country ride over forest roads, gravel tracks, and open mountain terrain. Your guide shapes it to the group: stay mostly on gravel and mountain roads if that’s your speed, or add natural singletrack if you’re after something more technical. We roll back into Žabljak afterward for our last evening in the Durmitor region, with dinner at the hotel.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch box, dinner
Terrain: Gravel, forest roads, and optional singletrack
Accommodation: Hotel Zlatni Bor, Žabljak

We check out of Žabljak and keep the journey moving. Today’s route loops around the Durmitor massif, rolling through mountains, valleys, forests, and quiet back roads before dropping towards the striking Piva Lake region. It’s another point-to-point stage, and a fresh angle on northern Montenegro: this is where the high mountains start handing over to the Adriatic. Our luggage rides in the support vehicle, so we carry only what we need for the day. Once the ride wraps up, we meet our transfer and continue to the coast, checking into Hotel Palma in Tivat with the sea right outside. Dinner is at the hotel.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch box, dinner
Terrain: Mountain roads, gravel, and optional trail sections
Accommodation: 4-star Hotel Palma, Tivat

Our last day on the bikes looks nothing like the first. We ride Vrmac, the ridge that separates the Bay of Kotor from Tivat Bay, climbing old mountain and military roads high above the coastline. Views open up over the bay, the limestone peaks around it, and the Adriatic below. The terrain mixes gravel, old roads, and natural singletrack, so we can shape the ride around how technical the group wants to get and how much energy is left in everyone’s legs. Once we finish, we head into Kotor Old Town for a wander through the historic center, then gather for our final evening together beside the sea.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch box, dinner
Terrain: Gravel, old mountain roads, and optional singletrack

Breakfast together, and then it’s time to say goodbye. Airport transfers are arranged around individual flight times, with drop-offs to Tivat, Podgorica, or Tirana Airport.
