SPORT & SEASON
Durmitor is the sport here — skiing from roughly January to March, hiking and rafting from June to September, and a July trail race — while organised team sport does not exist in a town this size.
Black Lake ringed by pine forest in Durmitor, Zabljak
Savin Kuk ski centre
Six kilometres from town, with 4.6km of runs — three blue, one red, one black and a nursery slope — served by two double chairlifts and three drag lifts, one of them floodlit for night skiing. The upper lift reaches 2,213m for a total vertical of about 700m.
Durmitor Trail Run
The town's one international fixture, run each July on the trails around Zabljak; the 2026 edition was on 11-12 July. Distances are 5km, 10km, 21km, 42km and a 65km ultra with 2,950m of climbing, plus a children's race.
Canyoning Nevidio
Montenegro's best-known canyon, met at Restaurant Jatak on the Savnik side of the massif: about four hours in the water, five hours door to door, EUR 120 per person. It runs from late spring to early autumn and you must be a confident swimmer.
Mountain biking the massif
Bikes hire from the national park at EUR 8 a day and the ring road gives 80km of quiet tarmac over the 1,907m Sedlo pass, with gravel spurs towards Susica. It is a serious day out at altitude, not a potter, and there is no bike shop worth the name in town.
No football club to speak of
Zabljak has no side in the Montenegrin First League and no meaningful stadium. The nearest top-flight club is FK Sutjeska at Stadion Kraj Bistrice in Niksic, roughly two hours away by road, which is also where you would go for any organised sport that is not a mountain.
