Key Information
Day 1
To Durmitor National Park
Touch down in Podgorica Airport and receive a warm greeting from your host, before embarking on a scenic two-hour drive to Žabljak – the gateway to Durmitor National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll either enjoy dinner en route, or at the restaurant within your cosy chalets. Once night falls, settle in and get some rest as you'll need your energy for the epic hiking adventures that await you.
Day 2
Ascend Crvena Greda, AKA Red Rock Peak (2164m)
Hiking
After a restful night in Žabljak, fuel up with breakfast and drive to the base of the imposing Crvena Greda (2164m), also known as Red Rock Peak. Today's trek takes you through a variety of stunning natural landscapes – vibrant meadows, panoramic summits, and serene lakes – a perfect introduction to Montenegro's wild beauty. The trail leads steadily upward to the summit, passing through sections of rocky terrain. At the top, breathtaking views of Bobotov Kuk, Durmitor's highest peak, await, along with glimpses of several glacial lakes scattered in the valleys below. After soaking in the views, begin your descent via the picturesque Jablan Lake, a peaceful gem nestled among the mountains. Continue downwards to the famous Black Lake, surrounded by dense forests and overlooked by the imposing Mount Bear. Despite its name, Black Lake is renowned for its clear, turquoise waters. If you're feeling adventurous, take a refreshing dip to celebrate your first summit of the trip. Later, return to your cosy chalet and enjoy a delicious dinner with the team, reflecting on a day well spent in the heart of Durmitor National Park.
Day 3
Skyward to Prutaš (2393m): hiking among Durmitor's giants
Hiking
Rise early and brace yourself for the ascent to Prutaš (2393m) in the wild heart of Durmitor National Park. The climb starts from the Šarban pass, where each turn reveals a new layer of mountain grandeur. The trail soon meanders through lush meadows and above the serene Skrčka lakes, with the towering peak of Bobotov Kuk watching over you from afar. Upon reaching the summit, you'll be greeted by one of the best viewpoints in the whole of Montenegro. Make your way back to the comfort of Žabljak, celebrating another fantastic hike over dinner, then rest up ready for your thrilling summit hike to Bobotov Kuk – the roof of Durmitor National Park – tomorrow.
Day 4
To the roof of Durmitor: summit Bobotov Kuk (2523m)
Hiking
Driving
Wake at sunrise and get ready for an exciting climb up Bobotov Kuk (2523m), the crowning peak of the Durmitor massif. It's considered the highest peak solely in Montenegro (although Zla Kolata in the Albanian Alps is 11m higher, that mountain sits only partly within the Montenegrin border). Reach the trailhead by transfer at 1725m and set off on a relatively gentle ascent. As you gain elevation, the terrain becomes increasingly rugged, culminating in a thrilling push to the summit. Here, you'll tackle some exposed sections along bolted-down iron cables with a bit of scrambling, requiring sure feet and a head for heights. Reaching the top will reward your efforts, as you'll be greeted with staggering vistas stretching all the way across Montenegro and into Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Albania. You will truly feel atop the roof of Montenegro! Once you're back down, hop in a two-hour ride back to Podgorica where you'll check in at a comfortable city hotel and enjoy a hot shower. Tonight, join your group for a well-earned farewell dinner, sharing tales of the great trails and peaks you've traversed this week!
Day 5
Goodbye Montenegro!
Your adventure in Montenegro comes to an end after breakfast, when your host will transfer you back to Podgorica Airport (just a short 15-minute drive away) in the morning for your flight back home. Doviđenja!

AM on Day 5
Transfers
You'll be picked up at Podgorica Airport 20:00 on Day 1, so make sure you book a flight which arrives in plenty time for the meet up. If you are already in Podgorica prior to Day 1, pick up from a central city location can be arranged if requested in advance of travel – just contact your host to request this.
Your trip ends in Podgorica and on Day 5 you'll take a group transfer to Podgorica Airport in time for your morning flight. For those needing transportation to different locations (such as car rental pickup) or at other times/days, taxis between Podgorica city centre and the airport can easily be arranged locally at your own expense for a cost of approximately €10-12.
If you decide to extend your trip in Žabljak and therefore need to transfer to/from there independently, you can opt to travel by bus (fares from €12 per person) or by taxi (approximately €130 per journey).
Travel options
There are regular direct flights to Podgorica from London and Manchester (with Wizzair and Ryanair) as well as from the rest of Europe.
Alternatively, you may choose to fly in and out to Tivat on the coast of Montenegro (Tivat offers direct connections with other regional airports in the UK, such as Birmingham, as well as the rest of Europe). If you use this airport, you can ask your host to provide you with the details of a trusted transfer company who can deliver you to either Podgorica or Durmitor National Park to join the rest of your group. A Tivat to Durmitor transfer costs €180 and takes three and a half hours; the shorter Tivat to Podgorica transfer costs €60-70 and takes two hours.
Another option is to fly to Dubrovnik in Croatia, and make your own way to Podgorica. However, please be aware that during the summer season, significant queues can form at the Croatia–Montenegro border.
Whichever route you choose, please inform your host of your arrival plans well in advance in order to ensure a smooth start to your adventure.

What is the food like?
Start each day with a diverse continental breakfast, where cereals, bread, butter, jam, honey, cheese, eggs, bacon and a selection of teas and coffees will fuel you up for the hikes. Come lunchtime on the trail, your guide will arrange some sandwich picnics including a medley of fresh bread, meats, cheeses, tomatoes, and cucumber. As the evening draws in, enjoy some tasty group dinners where the culinary traditions of Montenegro take the spotlight. Dishes will be hearty and served in large portions, including traditional soups, locally-grown vegetables and regional dairy, meat and fish dishes. Feel free to bring along any preferred snacks for the trail, especially if you have a sweet tooth, for that extra boost of energy during the hikes. Please note that drinks consumed with included lunches and dinners are at your own expense.
Whilst your host can cater for vegetarians, it may be more difficult to cater for special diets. The accommodation hosts are usually good at accommodating different dietary requirements but a vegan and gluten free diet may lack variety. For this reason we recommend supplementing your diet with food products and snacks from home. Please let us know prior to departure if you have any specific dietary requirements or allergies.
What is the accommodation like?
Žabljak
While in Durmitor, you'll be accommodated in twin-share rooms at one of the following four properties:
Etno Village Šljeme – this accommodation offers a great location with spectacular mountain views in a quiet and peaceful setting, surrounded by nature. Rooms are simple and neat, and the traditional Montenegrin food served comes recommended by other travellers.
Hotel Polar Star – this hotel offers spacious rooms, superb cuisine and even a small sauna.
Hotel Zlatni Bor – conveniently located near the Žabljak town centre. It provides spacious rooms, large bathrooms and an exceptional restaurant known for delicious local dishes and good service.
Apartmani Jezero – this apartment features a garden, bar and terrace and is in a beautifully scenic location next to a small lake.
Podgorica
Spend the final night of the trip at either Hotel Aurel or Hotel Lazaro, which are both modern 4-star hotels. You'll stay in bright, good-sized rooms on a twin-share basis.
Upgrades
For solo travellers looking for their own space, an optional private room can be booked for an extra charge, subject to availability – see Optional Extras for the price. Please request this with your host. You are encouraged to request this at the time of booking your trip as this optional extra is subject to availability.
This trip has been rated as Challenging
The average hiking time per day is 5-8 hours, with average distances of 10-15km on rolling or mountainous terrain. There are some steep ascents and descents you'll be tackling in order to reach your summits at altitudes of up to 2500m, but all days can be easily managed if you have previous hiking experience and a good level of fitness. The first two summits (Crvena Greda/Red Rock Peak and Prutas) are usually considered of moderate difficulty, with no particular challenges other than some steep sections typical of mountainous terrain. The final hike up Bobotov Kuk will be more challenging: it includes some parts that will really get your heart pounding, with some short areas which require holding onto a bolted cables, and a bit of scrambling towards the top. You'll need to be sure-footed and unafraid of heights. You will be required to wear well-broken-in mid or high ankle hiking boots with Vibram soles as they are essential for navigating the rocky and varied terrain of Bobotov Kuk. If you decide not to attempt the final exposed section to the summit, there is always the option to wait for the group (up to one hour) to return while soaking in some beautiful mountain views. As a safe ascent of Bobotov Kuk is reliant on suitable weather conditions, in the event of adverse weather such as heavy rain or thunderstorms, your guide reserves the right to switch the hike to an alternative peak with your safety in mind.
Montenegro enjoys over 250 sunny days annually, making it ideal for sun-lovers. Montenegro's coastal regions enjoy a Mediterranean climate, while Podgorica experiences very hot summers. In Podgorica, July and August temperatures often exceed 35°C (95°F), with long, dry days. In contrast, Durmitor National Park offers cooler summers, with daytime temperatures ranging from 18-24°C (64-75°F), sometimes reaching 28-29°C (82-84°F) on the warmest days. Evenings can see significant drops in temperature. While summer weather is generally favourable, unpredictable mountain storms are possible. Your host will prioritise safety and adjust the itinerary if necessary due to weather conditions.
Montenegro 3 peak challenge
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to my guides, Momir Stanojevic and Dusan Milic, for their exceptional professionalism and deep knowledge of both the country and the terrain we encountered. Over the course of three days, the experience proved to be both challenging and rewarding, requiring a good level of physical fitness. The accommodations and meals provided were of a high standard.
I highly recommend this experience for avid walkers seeking a rewarding three-day adventure.
Amazing 3 Peaks
Everything was so smooth and reliable from the time I booked this trip until the end. Communication was perfect, accommodation (cabin by the lakeside) was stunning, food was great and our guide (Balsa) was exceptional! Momir even made an effort to meet us after our final hike! The struggles and scrambles during the hike were worthily paid with beautiful views and fun adventures! Overall, really recommended trip for those who want to enjoy the tranquility mother nature can offer, at the same time surround yourself with stunning landscapes and beautiful likeminded people. 👍👍👍
3 stunning peaks - arrived solo, left with pals and unforgettable memories
There's really no reason that you should hesitate to book this trip - it was truly 11/10! Durmitor is stunning - the landscape of each hike was incredibly different and all offered SO much - the pictures barely do its beauty justice, and there were so many pristine wild swimming spots to enjoy! Our guide, Balsa, couldn't have done more to make the trip more incredible, and Momir even turned up at the end of our Bobotov Kuk descent to bring us extra snacks - thank you both for being such amazing hosts!! Everything (Food/Accommodation/Transfers) is handled so that you can immerse yourself in the experience, communication was excellent, and I'm really grateful for the great pals that I made along the way during this trip - eating cake by the lake/melon on top of Bobotov Kuk and getting to know you all was a true highlight! <3
Completed and 3 Peaks and found some new pals on the trail!
Had an amazing time on the Montenegro 3 peaks challenge! Super smooth and easy booking process with Much Better Adventures- they were very responsive and informative with all the details I needed to help me pick the perfect adventure. I booked a solo trip and got paired with the best group and the very Best guide, Balsa. The hike was challenging but manageable and so beautiful and fun. It was all perfectly organized from meals and accommodation to transfers and trails. All I had to do was hike and enjoy an amazing trip. They were even able to accommodate some very last minute requests. A great tour for a group or solo. Thank you Momir, Balsa, and my new hiking pals for an unforgettable time!
Great adventure
Overall the trip was a fantastic experience with Momo making sure we seen the best of Durmitor and even making some small changes due to weather to make sure we didn’t miss out! Food and accommodation were great too. Montenegro is a beautiful country and I had a great adventure, I would definitely recommend!
3 peaks challenge
An incredible way to explore Durmitor National Park. Momo is an excellent guide and so proud to teach about his culture. The views in the park are stunning and well worth a visit. Summiting Bobotov Kuk and swimming in the black lake were incredible!
Excellent trip and great fun
Excellent trip and great fun to explore Durmitor. Beautiful mountains and fantastic guiding from Momo. Lovely food. Well picked hikes to get a real sense of the park
Great Mountains of Monty
Really well organised and smooth trip, no issues and Momo our guide was super - knowledgeable, friendly, flexible and willing to go the extra yard for the group both in terms of organisation and routing, given small changes in weather conditions etc. He’s also a very proud Montenegrin who loves to share stories and experiences. Makes a huge difference and really added to the enjoyment of the trip. Great group of diverse, sociable and like-minded people on the tour!
Amazing experience
If you like a bit of adventure this is the trip for you. Our guide Momo was amazing and did everything to make sure we had the best experience possible.
Wonderful!
Really well organised, Momir and Luka were great guides and looked after us. Great accommodation and a wonderful group… lots of food!! The mountains were challenging but completed at a pace that suited the entire group. Montenegro is beautiful and the people there lovely.
Amazing Place!
Really loved the trekking here with our main guide Luka, and the organiser Momir. They kept us entertained with jokes and stories, kept us safe, and gave us good information about the areas we trekked in and overall made it an amazing experience. Durmitor National Park is beautiful and you experience different environments and scenery as you make your way up the mountains. The bonus was meeting dogs on various parts of the trek! Loved it!
Amazing trip!
Really enjoyed the trip to Montenegro - Luka and Momir were great guides - kept us safe and were good fun too. The hike up Bobotov Kuk was the highlight - stunning scenery and the pace and level of challenge was spot on!
Great trip in the heart of Montenegro
I really enjoyed this trip, which I added on top of my travel in Montenegro. It was really well organized and the atmosphere was superb. Our main guide, Luka, was fantastic and made sure that everyone was getting the best out of the trip. I wish it was longer!
Review
A varied and rich insight into the mountains and countryside of Montenegro with comfortable accommodation and food set in a beautiful village.
Brilliant trip The guide (Ozren)
Brilliant trip The guide (Ozren) was excellent, Accommodation (as a couple) was very good
Great trip!
Myself and a friend had a really good time on this trip. Balsa was a great guide who very much helped us out / ensured we were all going at a pace that was comfortable for us. He also kindly helped advise us on our onward travels in Montenegro. The scenery was incredible and I would definitely recommend!
Hiking in the mountains
Great trip. Well organised and a great guide in Balsa. So calm and helpful. Great to be in the beautiful and peaceful mountains. plenty of food and great accommodation.Would definitely recommend this trip.
Great trip cant wait to visit again
Travelled with a friend and after a 4 hour delay (which was catered for by Momir no problem at all) arrived at the accommodation.
Accommodation exceeded expectations, food was great, the days were perfectly planned and our guide Oz was a legend!
I think we were lucky that the group were really friendly which added to the experience which I would love to repeat as the scenery was breathtaking!
Can’t wait to book the next one!
Superb few days!
Great trip expertly organised from start to finish by Momir and Oz. They accommodated a 4 hour delay on our outbound flight which set the the tone of nothing been too much trouble.
Each day was challenging but very rewarding and the accommodation was modern clean and very comfortable.
Looking forward to coming back and exploring further!
Three scenic climbs
Enjoyed climbing three mountains in an area of Europe I've not visited before. Accommodation was great, but the lodge was let down by lack of air conditioning. Included meals were mostly good, some were perhaps overcooked. A bit disappointing we weren't able to climb Bobotov Kuk, due to uncertainties around the weather, but the substitute was still a decent climb.
Breathtaking Views and great hiking
Our trip was Saturday to Wednesday, my daughter (21) and I. We both loved it and will be booking more trips. The small group (9) was a great size to get to know everyone and have good chats during and after the hiking. The hiking itself was very well guided, challenging but well paced always enjoyable. As in my title, the scenery was spectacular. Our hosts in Montenegro were very accommodating, which led to a stress free break. The accommodation exceeded our expectations.
Amazing scenary and challenge level
Perfect for a few days to get away. Accommodation, food, difficulty level and amount of free time all perfect. Scenary was spectacular. Lake swimming was a real highlight.

We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity.
What's the number?
It works out on average at 120kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.
The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.
But what does the number mean?
Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:
- Driving 1000 miles/1609km would be approximately 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person, if there were two of you in it).
- A return economy class flight between London and New York would be approximately 1619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person.
- 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approximately 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years.
What are we doing about it?
Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife.
Want to know more?
Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. You'll find it all here.

Any excess luggage can be safely left in your mountain chalet accommodation while out on the hikes. You'll only need to take and a 25-35 litre backpack with to carry what you need for the day – which may include a rain jacket, fleece, t-shirts, camera, sun cream, water and picnic lunch. On hot days you will carry fewer clothes, but more drinking water.
In the event of poor weather such as unmelted snow, heavy rain, strong winds and/or storms, it is possible that conditions may become unsafe to summit the mountains on this trip. This is particularly relevant for the final summit hike to Bobotov Kuk, where trails can easily become unsafe due to slippery conditions. Your guide will assess the weather for summit days with your safety in mind. If it becomes necessary to make a change to the planned itinerary, you'll either hike as far as is safe to do so, or be offered an alternative hike (such as Savin Kuk (2313m), which is less challenging but safer in adverse conditions).
Some shops in Žabljak do not accept cards and there is the possibility that card payments might fail due to a weak signal, so you are advised to carry some cash with you for drinks, souvenirs and the like.
This trip visits locations at or above 2500m, where some people may experience symptoms of Altitude Sickness, also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).
Previous experience at altitude doesn’t guarantee the same response again – your body can react differently on each trip. However, having been at altitude before is still valuable: it gives you a better understanding of how your body might respond, what symptoms to look out for, and how to manage your pace and energy levels.
Your guide is trained to manage the risk of altitude sickness by controlling the rate of ascent, monitoring group wellbeing, and responding appropriately if anyone feels unwell.
Before booking, we recommend considering your personal health, particularly if you have any pre-existing conditions, and consulting a medical professional if you’re unsure. Arriving early to allow your body to acclimatise can also make a big difference.
Your travel insurance must cover the maximum altitude reached on this trip and include emergency evacuation.
This trip operates in areas where daytime temperatures can reach extreme highs, where limited shade and high humidity can also be a factor. These conditions can affect physical performance and increase the risk of dehydration or heat-related illness. Your guide will adjust the pace and monitor the group closely, but hydration, proper clothing, and sun protection are essential.
Before travelling, consider your ability to be active in high temperatures and consult a medical professional if you have concerns – especially if you have any cardiovascular or heat-sensitive conditions. Arriving a day or two prior to the trip may help you adjust gradually to the heat.
Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.
Our team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination. We only work with independent, local, in-destination experts who know the very best places to explore and how to stay safe. Read more information about the local teams we partner with. You’ll be introduced to the host straight after making a booking via the Much Better Adventures platform.
Much Better Adventures refer to the UK Government’s official travel advice when designing trips and monitoring trip operations. We recommend that all customers are familiar with the practical information provided on the Government’s FCDO website, where current travel advice can be found by searching for the applicable destination(s).
For customers joining this trip from other international destinations – please also read the official travel advice applicable to your country of residence/origin, as this may differ.
We recommend checking out the country-specific information and also talking to a travel nurse.
We automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates on a daily basis so this does mean that prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time.
