This winter✨ I found a hidden treasure snowy country in the Balkans! It's not that Switzerland is unaffordable, but Montenegro offers better value for money💰 Snowy mountains and lakes, fairy-tale wooden cabins, beginner ski resorts… The key is fewer people! Beautiful scenery! Low costs! ❄️ Žabljak · Durmitor National Park (Address: Žabljak, Montenegro) Standing on the snowy mountain peak, I finally understood what "a thousand miles of ice" means⛄️ Black Lake looks like a huge emerald after freezing💎 The reflection of the snowy mountains is so clear it almost made me kneel Every rime-covered tree here is a stunning natural backdrop I recommend staying in a cabin in the scenic area🏡 Opening the window in the morning reveals a fairyland🌫️ ⛷️ Kolašin Ski Resort (Address: Ski Resort Kolašin) The happy home for ski beginners!🎿 Tickets + ski gear cost less than 200 per person💰 The slopes are wide enough to fall freely The key is the coaches are handsome and patient (those who know, know🌟) After skiing, sit in the mountain café Warm your frozen hands with hot chocolate☕️ Watch the sunset dye the entire snowy mountain golden This moment healed my whole winter🏔️ 🏰 Kotor Old Town (Address: Stari Grad, Kotor) A winter-only peaceful time✨ The ancient town finally reveals its true face after tourists leave Get lost in the maze-like stone alleys Turn a corner and meet a sunbathing cat🐈 Climb 1,300 steps of the old city walls at dusk Overlook the fairy-tale town embraced by fjords The whole world is so quiet you only hear your heartbeat💓 ⚠️【Must-read blood and tears summary】 1️⃣ Don’t drive yourself!
