COMPLETE TRAVEL GUIDE
How to get from Sarajevo International Airport to Jahorina
Sarajevo Airport to Jahorina is a comparatively short mountain road journey, but the city airport coach is not a direct ski shuttle. Jahorina’s Olympic Centre has listed City2City Sarajevo transport; visitors must confirm its current dates, reservation terms and pickup point. A direct airport transfer can avoid going into the city first and can reach the actual hotel entrance. Poljice, Ogorjelica and other resort-side stops are not interchangeable. Check the final property address, slope access and winter road before choosing a shared or private booking.
Choose the actual Jahorina hotel and resort sector. A shared Poljice stop can still need a local uphill ride to accommodation elsewhere on the mountain.

Explore the Jahorina resort guide →
Jahorina is a developed mountain resort with several lift bases and accommodation sectors. Its English lift page and later brochures use different piste totals, so the current official map is more useful than one fixed headline number. Select the hotel, rental base and lesson meeting point together; Poljice and Ogorjelica can require different arrivals.
Which ski area should you choose?
Poljice
A main named base with its own hotel and pickup geography. Confirm the shared stop.
Ogorjelica
Another lift and accommodation sector; use the exact property directions.
Rajska Dolina and upper sectors
Higher or separate skiing areas need a planned return route and current operating information.
Piste difficulty: Family learning areas coexist with longer and more demanding alpine pistes. Check the marked grade, live lift operation and route back to the correct accommodation sector.
After the transfer: Choose the actual Jahorina hotel and resort sector. A shared Poljice stop can still need a local uphill ride to accommodation elsewhere on the mountain.
