The European Union might have closed its ski resorts, but Bosnia and Herzegovina, which isn't a member of the bloc, is hoping for skiers to come to Bosnian slopes as their skiing season kicks off.

The ski season opened on Jahorina near Sarajevo on Sunday after the use of the artificial snow system enabled the "Poljice" trail to fall into function, which should be available to skiers for both day and night skiing. Other trails will open gradually, depending on the level of snowfall in the area.

The management of the Jahorina Olympic Centre hopes that this year it will manage to attract a large number of winter sport lovers, particularly European skiers, especially after the announcement that popular ski resorts across Europe will remain closed at least until January the 10th, 2021.

Ski resorts in France have announced that they will be closed. It's the first time that people who have skied so far in France, Italy and Austria are booking their accommodation in Jahorina and that isn't a small number of people.

Bosnia and Herzegovina has really great maintained slopes, modern lifts, professional maintenance of trails for skiing, plus a wide range of accommodation.

In the case that Bosnia and Herzegovina closes its borders or a guest becomes infected with SARS-CoV-2, guests will be able to cancel the use of their purchased ski pass and transfer it to the 2021/22 season or get a refund of 80 percent of the amount paid instead.

A daily ski pass on Jahorina for adults in the height of the season is around 26 Euros and 120 Euros for the week.

Authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina have decided not to impose additional restrictive measures to control the spread of the pandemic, given that the existing ones are yielding results, so they are counting on popular ski destinations in the country to attract more visitors from neighbouring countries.

The prices of ski passes on Vlasic in central Bosnia are even lower, and this is an attractive destination for many Croatian skiers and other tourists, especially those from Dalmatia.
