People who like to go skiing to the snowy slopes get together in the cozy Alpine-style town every year, from December to April. Kolašin is located in one of the cleanest areas of Europe, surrounded by ancient forests of Biogradska Gora national park. The trip from Budva by car will take around 2 hours, by bus – 3-3,5 hours.
