The winter tourist season on mountain Jahorina will be officially opened today.
The director of the Olympic Center “Jahorina”, Dejan Ljevnaić, pointed out that the Olympic Center is ready to welcome the winter tourist season, with discounts of 50 percent.
Ljevnaić points out that, thanks to the snowfall, the favorable temperature, and most of all the snowmaking system, Jahorina is again the first in the region and Europe to be ready to welcome fans of snow activities.

According to him, during the summer, the Olympic Center prepared the trails with special machinery, drained the canal, filled the lake at the top, and thus enabled skiing to begin.
