Sports Tourism

Zlatibor is an ideal place for the training of top athletes, as well as recreational athletes who want to improve their physical condition.

Thanks to its geographical position (about 230 kilometers from Belgrade and about 300 kilometers from the South Adriatic) and relief characteristics (slightly undulating mountain plateau with an average altitude of 1,000 meters), this mountain is a meeting place of continental and Mediterranean air currents. Such natural and climatic conditions make Zlatibor and ideal place for sportsman and women.

These ideal natural and climatic characteristics are complemented by modern infrastructure. On Zlatibor, there is a large number of outdoor courts (football, basketball, tennis, volleyball, as well as multifunctional hard courts), two sports halls (on Zlatibor and in Cajetina), a large number of facilities for recreational holidays and several marked bike and hiking trails. Although Zlatibor is not a high mountain, skiing is one of the most favorite activities of guests, because during the winter months there is a lot of snow which stays for a long time.

In the Ski Center "Tornik" and the ski resort on Obudovica, which are in the very center of the mountain, there are excellent conditions not only for experienced skiers but also for recreational skiers and beginners. Due to the undulations of its plateau, Zlatibor is an exceptional destination for the development of Nordic skiing. The ski slopes on Tornik and the Nordic skiing trails at the Tic Polje have been homologated, made according to the standards of the International Ski Federation (FIS), which is a precondition for being permitted to organize international ski competitions.

In addition to sports infrastructure, this mountain has an ideal tourist infrastructure, numerous accommodation facilities (high categories and others), restaurants of national and international cuisine, cafes, shops... Most hotels have luxurious wellness and relaxation centers, where after strenuous workouts or walks guests can rest, relax and regain their energy.
