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

Start near Kotor, ride upward by van and panoramic cable car, then coast down Montenegro’s famous 25 Turns on a Giant hybrid or mountain bike. Guides such as Rafa, Armando, and Simon set the pace, manage traffic, and stop for photos. You need solid bike-handling skills, but little climbing is involved.

“Great experience, our family had an incredible time biking all the way down from the cable car. Rafa was an excellent guide and SO SO kind for waiting on us!! He was so calm and looked out for our group while navigating through all of the traffic. His employer is so lucky to have him!! Highly recommend and ask for Rafa!!”

Ride from Kotor to Krstac Pass, then walk downhill along a Roman-era caravan route through forest, open mountain paths, Spiljari village, and San Giovanni Fortress.

“Memorable hiking down to Kotor with an arrival at night through the fortress. The guide was professional and very instructive : a lot of knowledge shared about Montenegro history. Totally recommanded!”

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

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

You’ll meet Ivana and her team near Kotor’s town walls, ride mainly downhill from Njeguši, and follow the famous serpentines toward Kotor. Expect about 22 km of cycling, a 900-meter descent, photo stops, snacks, coffee, and a village visit focused on Njegoš and traditional ham-making. The private format lets your group set the pace.

“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!”
