ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
The Šar Planina rises straight behind Prizren: the Prevallac plateau (30 min by road) is the trailhead of the marked routes (the Spring Trail starts at 1,515 m), the high pastures and the peaks follow, and the Brezovica ski centre (the Olympic-era resort) is the mountain’s winter face.
