History of Jahorina

Jahorina, a mountain beauty in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is proud of its rich history. Today, the ski centre of Jahorina is widely known and is a favourite destination for fans of winter sports, but the history of skiing in Jahorina began in the distant past. It all started with an archaic form of skiing on wooden boards, which is still mentioned in the contemporary ski culture of Jahorina. The true potential of this beauty was discovered at the beginning of the 20th century when true connoisseurs recognized its value and possible importance for winter tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The moment when Jahorina shined in its full glory was definitely during the 1984 Winter Olympics. Jahorina was the proud host of ski competitions, and its slopes were the podium for many world-famous skiers. However, it is little known that since the 1950s, there have been organized skiing competitions on Jahorina, and the peak before the Olympics was certainly the European Cup for men and the World Championship for women "Golden Fox", held in 1975. Jahorina is a treasure trove of winter wonders and a destination for all those who appreciate the beauty and importance of winter sports.
