Not that Switzerland is unaffordable! Montenegro's snowy country is the true king of cost performance

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! Icy mountain roads are deadly🚗💨 2️⃣ Don’t wear UGGs! Waterproof hiking boots are the way to go👢 3️⃣ Book a car 3 days in advance (learned the hard way) 4️⃣ Bring plenty of warmers! The mountains are cold enough to make you question life❄️ 5️⃣ Bring at least 500 euros in cash (card payments will make you cry) 📦【Copy this packing list directly】 ▪️ Fleece-lined shell jacket + down jacket layered forever ▪️ Touchscreen gloves + wool hat (the three lifesavers) ▪️ Thermos (hot water life-saving gadget) ▪️ European standard adapter plug (remember to bring 2) ▪️ Cold medicine + stomach medicine (must-haves!) 💡【Secret stunning photo spots】 ▫️ South side plank road of Black Lake (the snowy mountain reflection is amazing) ▫️ Third watchtower on Kotor city walls (panoramic check-in) ▫️ Žabljak forest (rime wonderland perfect for photos) You have to see real snow at least once this winter! In Montenegro 🇲🇪 I encountered the purest form of winter❄️ 💬 Tempted? Tell me in the comments where you want to go most~ 📩 Custom routes/car rentals/local recommendations welcome to DM✨
