The 3 Best Downhill Rides in Montenegro

1.Epic 25 Turns Downhill Bike Descent w/ Panoramic Cable Car Ascent

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 107 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $131Our pick

Review of Kotor’s 25 Turns downhill bike tour, with cable car views, mountain roads, safety tips, pricing, and advice for cruise passengers.

“Amazing views the whole way. Very fun ride down, 17 miles, and covered a lot of elevation. Only one half mile of an easy climb during the ride. Stopped at a refreshment store along the way with more amazing views and a restroom. Eight people in our group, ages ranging from mid 40’s to late 50’s. Ride was not difficult physically but comfort on a bike is important as cars are encountered on a narrow, winding, mountain roadway.

2.Hiking downhill from Krstac to Kotor, visit San Giovanni fortress

Hike from Krstac to Kotor through forest, mountain views, Spiljari village, and San Giovanni Fortress with a local guide.

3.Bike tour – Panoramic downhill from Njeguši and Kotor serpentines

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $126Best value

Ride 22 km downhill from Njeguši through Kotor’s famous switchbacks, with mountain views, local food, coffee, and an optional zipline.

“We had so much fun our tour with Ivana and her husband. We started at the zip line which we both used and whilst it was short, it was fun (Ivana encouraged me to go on and I probably wouldn’t have pushed myself out of my comfort zone otherwise!). The views were simply stunning and we also learnt a lot about the history of Montenegro which was very interesting. Suitable for any level of fitness and it is mainly downhill. Would recommend!”
