Trebević Mountain tours and things to do

Pine lifts a clean scent as the cable car glides up from the city, forest paths fan out from the upper station, and viewpoints open to a wide Sarajevo panorama. In summer the woods stay cool and quiet; in winter the air is sharp and clear. Sister peaks sit close enough to pair in one day.

Top things to do on Trebević

Top story from Trebević
Start with the cable car ride and watch red roofs drop away. Step off at the upper station and follow an easy loop through spruce to a viewpoint over the valley.

Continue to the Olympic bobsleigh and luge track for stark concrete curves and long angles through the trees, then pause at a hut for hot tea. If you have more time, link the day with Sarajevo’s old town or pair Trebević with nearby Bjelašnica for ridge views.
