Kolasin Ski Resort
The ski resort in Kolasin was built back in the days of Yugoslavia. But it was developed modestly enough against the background of the more popular Zabljak in Montenegro. In 2008, the investment company "Beppler & Jacobson" invested in Kolasin, subsequently completely transforming it: two large hotels Bianka and Lipka (now Four Points Sheraton) became four-star hotels. Together with the hotels, the ski slope was purchased and completely renovated. Now this resort meets modern European standards.
Today there are two ski resorts in Kolasin: Kolasin 1450 (Kolašin 1450) and Kolasin 1600 (Kolašin 1600). Both are modern, comfortable and have all kinds of service.
