Durmitor SkyCamp 2026: Level Up Your Trail Running in Montenegro’s UNESCO Mountains (July 16-20)
Skip the bib. Level up instead.
Five days in the heart of Durmitor National Park (UNESCO), with coached morning runs, afternoon masterclasses, and a small, motivated group. Build real mountain skills - uphill rhythm, technical footwork, confident downhill - while soaking up ridgelines, lakes, and alpine meadows around Žabljak.
Who It’s For
Adult trail runners (18+) of mixed levels who want coaching, skills, and community - not just guided jogging. If you can comfortably run 8-10 km on trails, we’ll coach you up from there. (Under 18 only with parental consent.)
What You’ll Learn & Do
Uphill efficiency: pacing, breathing, and pole technique on sustained climbs
Downhill control: braking, foot placement, cadence, and confidence on rock & roots
Technical footwork: balance, agility, line choice on varied singletrack
Strength & mobility for trail runners: short, practical sessions that protect joints and build resilience
Fueling & recovery: nutrition strategy, electrolytes, and post-run routines at altitude (Žabljak ~1,450-1,500 m; highest runs up to ~2,500+ m depending on weather)
The Daily Flow
Morning: Coached trail session (skill focus of the day: uphill / downhill / technical flow)
Afternoon: Masterclass or lab (nutrition, strength & mobility, gear & poles tuning) or light active recovery (walk/swim)
Evening (select days): short Q&A / gear & strategy chats
Exact routes adapt to weather and group freshness. Safety first; progress always.
