What are we doing

Welcome to the first celebration of the World Snow Day on the Olympic Mountain Bjelasnica.

Bjelasnica (2067 m above sea level) is the highest ski centre in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the mountain, which, in addition to Jahorina, Igman and Trebevic, was the host of the XIV Winter Olympic Games.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a predominantly mountainous country with a fairly long winter season, and Sarajevo was the host city of the Winter Olympics in 1984, which is testimony to the long history of skiing in this region. Sarajevo is positioned as a city associated with winter sports and as such, with a good geographical position and existing infrastructure, Sarajevo has an obligation to create skiers.

The Olympic spirit from 1984 still lives in Sarajevo and its inhabitants, and the city is still the organiser of numerous world sport competitions.
Our goal is for every five-year-old to ski down the Olympic slopes. First of all, because skiing is woven into the spirit of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is a kind of lifestyle that has always been passed on to the coming generations.

It is necessary to give every child the opportunity to get to know this sport and the mountain, and as a special motive we highlight the need to take children to nature during the period of the highest air pollution. Introducing children to skiing at an early age allows them access to this healthy winter sport throughout their lives. It keeps them in shape, reduces the tendency to obesity, increases activity during the winter months and what is currently most important for us is that children spend as much time as possible in the clean and healthy mountain air.

Activities planned for the First World Snow Day in Bjelasnica are:
- Creating snow sculptures in different forms.
- Free ski equipment for children and parents.
- Free ski passes for children and parents.
- Free ski instruction for children and parents.
- Snow workshop for children where they will be educated about the XIV Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo.

We invite parents and kids to sign up for free family ski lessons on the weekend, 20th and 21st of January 2024. Looking forward to seeing you on the slopes of Ski Centre Bjelasnica - Igman.
