Ski touring

WEEKEND ON SHAR MOUNTAIN

Difficulty

Moderate

Best period

Late December to early April

Exploring Shar Mountain and the Park is always free to do; you have time even for one day to enjoy it. And the number of days doesn’t always give a standing limit to what you could possibly do in the mountains because here you could never get bored.

On this short but wonderful tour, you will be going to many lovely mountains, such as Kazani Peak, Karanikola Peak, and Sheremetnica Peak. Now, from a far distance, they seem just like any other peak, but the story is way up ahead of that. Something not many people know is that these peaks together make for the most amazing free riding down such mountains.

If you’re willing to find out if that’s true or just an ordinary myth, then try it out yourself; I guarantee you’ll surprise yourself.

Mountains could surprise you, shock you, or even satisfy you; the only thing you need to do is find the right mountain, the right ski, and just enjoy.
