Cycling day trip from Kolašin to Podgorica

Ready for an adventure? This cycling route takes you from the mountain town of Kolašin down to the Montenegrin capital, Podgorica—a journey of just over 111 km through wild landscapes and remote valleys.

You’ll start in Kolašin, known for its fresh mountain air and lush forests (it’s a great base for exploring Biogradska Gora National Park). The route is packed with elevation changes—nearly 4000 meters of climbing and almost 5000 meters of descending! Max elevation gets above 1500 meters, so you’ll definitely earn those views.

Most of your ride will be on quiet roads and unpaved tracks, so a gravel or mountain bike is a smart choice. There’s barely any busy traffic, letting you really soak in the peacefulness of Montenegro’s heartland. Don’t expect smooth tarmac everywhere—a lot of the way is missing pavement, but that’s half the charm.

Arriving in Podgorica, you’ll swap mountain vistas for the lively riverfront cafes of Montenegro’s biggest city. Bring plenty of snacks, a sense of adventure, and get ready for one seriously memorable ride!
