Pine holds the cold in the morning, skis hiss across open fields, and forest trails stay quiet a few minutes from the city. In summer, meadows open between spruce and clear tracks lead to soft viewpoints. Sarajevo sits just below for cafés and museums, while sister peaks are close enough to pair in one day.

Top story from Igman Warm up on wide, flat snow where the Olympic-era fields spread between the trees. Follow a short loop as breath hangs in the air, then step into a hut for hot tea. When the snow is gone, swap skis for boots and take a forest path where needles give a clean scent and woodpeckers tap in the pines.
