The ride itself is an experience, with modern gondolas ascending over the city, providing panoramic views of Sarajevo's historic architecture and surrounding mountains. The journey takes approximately 8 minutes, transporting passengers from the urban landscape to the refreshing mountain air. At the summit, visitors can explore various attractions, including hiking trails, the remains of the 1984 Winter Olympics bobsled track, and recreational areas. Mount Trebević offers a diverse range of activities. History buffs can explore the abandoned bobsled track, a relic of the 1984 Winter Olympics, and learn about the area's complex past. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking and mountain biking, with trails catering to different skill levels.
