The view from the top
As is the way with mountains, you get
to the top only to see another higher peak staring down at you as
if to quash your sense of achievement. Yesterday we spent a day off
at Vlašić, a
mountain in the very centre of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is
the view from the top of the drag lifts that serve the mountain's
Babanovac resort.
It's a very pretty place, and to my taste anyway, all the better without the weekend crowds. We waited for a lift once, for about a minute, the rest of the time we walked straight on. Most of the the time we could see a couple of others of the slope we were on, although a few times we had a stretch all to ourselves. Part of me would love it to always be like this but I also see there is space for others to discover the joys of snow sport in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It may not cater for full on adrenaline junkies but there is plenty for beginners, and those who like to take in the surroundings as they make their way down a mountain. If you need a little more convincing you can see what it looks like in this video I made yesterday.
