Horse Riding on Durmitor Mountain: Complete Guide for All Levels

Durmitor isn’t just for rafters — it’s some of Europe’s best horse country. Wide plateaus, forest trails, and shepherd paths that connect villages 800 years old. Our horseback tours run May through October and suit complete beginners through confident riders. Here’s what to expect.

Who Can Join

We take riders from age 8 with no previous experience. Beginners start on calm, trained horses in a fenced practice area for 15 minutes, then we head out on easy trails. Experienced riders get faster horses and more demanding routes.

• Pine forests with clear streams
• Traditional shepherd katuns (summer farms), often with stops for local cheese
• Wild horses in the distance (Durmitor has free-roaming herds)
• Views of the Tara Canyon from elevated paths
