Simply the most spectacular way to see Montenegro’s legendary coastline, immersed in a local culture which the tourists never see. The Poet Lord Byron famously wrote that, "The most beautiful contact between the earth and sea took place at the Montenegrin littoral". From Mount Orijen bordering Croatia and Bosnia in the west, through the UNESCO protected bay of Kotor and majestic Mount Lovcen, then south east over Rumija to Lake Skadar, the Montenegro Coastal transversal mountains are the backdrop to Montenegro's stunning coastline. Our tour follows the ridges and peaks of Montenegro's coast, through abandoned villages and ancient fortresses, along forgotten paths high above the Adriatic. The mountains were the meeting point of Slavic, Turkish and Venetian cultures, the boundary between the coastal invaders and the proud Montenegrins of the mountainous interior. Our local guides have an unrivalled knowledge of the mountains, of their history, the people and the wildlife which can be found there. The tour starts and ends at sea level, gradually reaching an altitude of 1894 meters along the way. We cross 3 mountain ranges – Orijen, Lovcen above Kotor and summit Mount Rumija, before descending to the beautiful Lake Skadar bordering Albania. We don’t force the pace, there is too much to see. The route enjoys jaw dropping views of the coast and beaches, busy with tourists far below. The tracks themselves are not technically difficult, and we limit walking time to 6 hours each day with a generous stop for lunch. This tour is suitable for anyone who is moderately fit. If you want to experience the real Montenegro far from tourists, guided by experienced and friendly local guides. If you want to be among the few who have seen Montenegro at its most spectacular, to share an unforgettable experience with a small friendly group. Then this tour is for you.
