January 20, 2019 - Ski Center Vucje near Niksic is a great ski destination in Montenegro if you are looking for a ski resort that will meet the needs of the whole family. Unlike the most popular ski destinations in Montenegro, the ski resorts Kolasin or Zabljak, where numerous facilities are out of walking distance, Vucje offers a program to enjoy for the whole family in one place. Once you arrive here and park your car, you will not need to use it again.
Ski Centre Vucje has two ski slopes. Apart from providing experienced skiers with an excellent 1200m long recreational trail, Vucje is an attractive destination for your children who are not yet experienced enough on skis. The Ciciban track, 120 meters long, equipped with a baby ski lift, is located on a gentle slope that is ideal for the first skiing steps.Ski Center Vucje employs 20 workers, who, according to the manager, Marija Lalovic, make a harmonious family dedicated to comfort, safety and the best atmosphere of all their guests. As one of the youngest ski destinations in Montenegro, Vucje has welcomed guests from Montenegro and abroad for more than ten years.

Instructors are here every day from 10 am to 4 pm, and the instruction fee is 15 euro/hour, but our instructors stay longer with their candidates if needed. At this pace of training, for every child, three or four days are enough to learn the basics of skiing, which they need to continue to enjoy themselves in the snow."
The ambiance of the Vucje motel, service, and offerings follow the tradition of continental Montenegro. "As far as food is concerned, we try to offer our guests only old, traditional homemade dishes, Priganice, pies, Sarme. Since this year, we have been upgrading our offer with "Tastes of Vucje" Within the complex, we produce homemade sausages, bacon, ham, prosciutto, and even Kulen. All our restaurant guests have the chance to try our homemade produce," explains Marija.

The weather did not go our way, because even though there was enough snow, there were strong crowds that set off the opening of the recreational trail. Now everything is in function, so we can plan a one-day excursion in our direction, which we will inform the public in time," announced the manager of Ski Center Vucje, Marija Lazovic.
Apart from skiers, Vucje is also a popular snowboard destination. This year, for the fifth time in a row, this center will be the address of the great Snow Dance Festival - a snowboard competition, which traditionally brings together the best snowboarders from the countries of the region. In addition to enjoying their show, also this year during the three days of the festival the audience will enjoy performances of the most eminent names of electronic music, as well as many other features that the ski center team still does not want to discover. In anticipation of the details, see the part of last year's Snow Dance atmosphere.
As in previous years, the organizers will provide free transportation to Vucje from all the cities of Montenegro. Marija says this year, unlike the last year's edition, Snow Dance will be organized by late February or early March, to make sure that snow is enough to prepare challenging and dynamic snowboarding tracks.Until then, consider Vucje if you have several free days to enjoy the snow. It's true that, besides the ski slopes and the Vucje motel, there are no other contents here, but that's more if you want to come here for a real vacation.
