Location
Durmitor is imposing Montenegro Mountain with its highest peak Bobotov Kuk of 2,523m altitude. Durmitor Narional park is surrounded by river canyons Tara, Piva, Draga and Komarnica. Our home is a small village Nadgora with its scenic mountain backdrop situated 7 km far from Zabljak. The location is completely isolated surrounded by pine forest with elevation of 1.600 m. Near our accommodation are the most important natural beauties of Durmitor National Park - lakes Crno and Jablan, Savin kuk peak, Viewpoint Curevac (with the view on the biggest canyon in Europe). The ski trail is 4,5km away from Zabljak and 11 km from our accommodation.
Accommodation
Our holiday complex consists of five authentic wooden villas. Their dreamy appearance matches perfectly the natural mountain setting. This place is so quiet that you will unplug immediately from your bustling city life.
Our biggest villa is Hofelia with four floors, that can accommodate 10 people. We will have a yoga practice here and eat together in the big dining room at the ground level. On the first floor there is a living room where we can relax, watch a movie, or just hang out.

Yoga practice
We will start a day with meditation and asana practice which is a combination of hatha and vinyasa style. We will slowly warm up our body for snow adventures, whether we decide do go snowboarding or just walking around the in the nature.
In the evening we will have yin practice, easy and meditative. The accent in this practice is more on relaxing after an active day with holding a position for longer period or using various bodywork techniques.
Hofelia is made fully out of natural building materials and staying in this villa is quite and extraordinary experience. We will be completely isolated from the rest of the world, we will spend time hanging out by the fire. Even though if you want you can rest alone in one of the corners of the house, keep in mind that you will be sharing a house with rest of the crew so be tolerant (because of the house structure, the complete sound isolation is not possible in the rooms). Also be mindful that in Hofelia we have two toilets and one shower.
Vila Ravioila
can accommodate four people and is ideal if you are coming with a family or close friends. In the ground floor there is a big living room, kitchen and a bathroom. On the first floor there is one big room with two double beds.
- In our complex there are more villas available, if you are coming in a bigger group of five or more people, let us know so we present you the other options as well ;)

Weather
This period of the year the temperature starts to rise slowly. The weather conditions are of course unpredictable and we need to be aware of natural conditions. We do expect a lots of snow though.
What to bring?
Winter time means you better bring lots of clothes! It is essential that you bring all season clothes, since you will be very active, either you ski, walk or do yoga. It is safer you are all covered. Bring your winter sports apparel and equipment, some comfortable clothes for yoga. Bring a towel and a yoga mat for the practice. The good news are that you can leave your ski equipment for free at the ski trail, so you don’t need to be bothered with every day packing. Bring your toiletries and a chocolate, it’s always good to share. Bring water proof shoes or boots, hat, shall, gloves, sun screen and sun glasses.
Know before you go
Durmitor is a mountain of unspeakable beauty. What it makes so special is for sure the fact that is still off the main tourist track. There are not many facilities around. And if you are looking for a holiday, where the main focus is strolling around bars and restaurants, you better skip this vacation. If on contrary, you are a nature lover, adventure enthusiast, open minded soul, whether you come here alone or in company, you will be mesmerized with what Durmitor can offer! Durmitor is known for off road ski trails, that are the best for adventurous boarders. Besides its natural beauty, you will enjoy company of young, positive, like-minded people. Be aware that the weather conditions are always unpredictable, and in case of heavy snow moving can be a bit tricky. Good news are that we do have motor sled that can transport us in worse case scenarios.
