Bjelašnica Ski Resort (Babin Do)

ABOUT THIS ATTRACTION

The Bjelašnica ski resort at Babin Do is the principal winter sports area on the mountain and the direct heir of its Olympic life. In February 1984 the men’s alpine skiing events of the XIV Winter Olympic Games were held on these slopes — the women’s events took place on the neighbouring mountain of Jahorina — and the courses prepared for the Games became the foundation of the modern resort. Today Babin Do is a working ski area of lifts, groomed pistes and mountain huts on the northern flanks, a short drive up from Sarajevo, with cold, deep snow and a high-alpine character. The coordinate given here marks the Babin Do visitor area rather than every lift or piste on the mountain. Winter skiing depends on open pistes and current resort conditions, which should be checked with the operator before a dedicated trip; in summer the lifts may run for ridgeline views, but summer operation is schedule-dependent and must be confirmed with the operator.
