Expedition through the Most Beautiful Mountains of Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro, signed by Dinaric Rally Organizers

The DINARIDES are Europe’s largest karst mountain chain, a mix of limestone plateaus, high passes, clear river canyons, beech and fir forest, black pine above the tree line, and open pastures. This non-competitive raid is a detailed deep dive into the best of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro, with a focus on riding the most beautiful mountains and the most exciting tracks in each region.

Multiple tracks available, making it suitable for small and large motorcycles, quads, SSVs, and 4×4 off-road vehicles.

All vehicle types are welcome: motorcycles, quads, SSVs, and 4x4s. We split into pace groups and adapt the daily track to vehicle type, rider or driver skill, weather, and conditions. The aim is simple. Safe, rewarding days with plenty of variety, from fast, well graded gravel to narrow technical sections, from ridge roads with long views to lines that run beside lakes and clear rivers. You get a concentrated taste of the Dinarics without race stress, at a tempo that fits you and your machine.

Terrain and scenery

Expect a lot of mountain time on the best ranges in both countries. We ride wide alpine plateaus, ridge roads with long views, along clear rivers and lakes, and across small mountain streams. Surfaces change often: hard, well-graded gravel that feels like tarmac, loose crushed stone and classic gravel, and at times narrow, overgrown, rocky or muddy broken tracks after heavy rain. This is Dinaric nature at its best: limestone karst, beech and fir forests, black pine above the tree line, open pastures. Wildlife is present and calm. You will often see rabbits, sometimes fox or roe deer.

Program Overview

Pace and daily hours

Kilometers are not huge, but riding is steady. Plan for up to about 10 hours on the move each day, plus photo, fuel and food stops. We split into pace groups to keep everyone comfortable and safe.

Weather and clothing

Bring proper rain gear for daytime use and a warm layer for evenings and altitude. Weather can turn quickly. Pack a light windproof and a compact mid-layer.

Vehicles and rider gear

Motorcycles, quads, SSV and 4×4 are welcome.

• Motorcyclists must wear a helmet, goggles or visor, off-road boots, gloves and body armor that fits well.
• SSV and 4×4 must have working seat belts and solid front and rear recovery points.
• Tires: set up for rocky ground. For SSV and 4×4, with strong sidewalls.
• Fuel Range: 120 km

Lodging and meals

We sleep in towns, in the best hotels available there, with local character rather than chain style. Breakfasts and dinners are generous and rooted in local food: in BiH think uštipci with kajmak, sir iz mijeha, cicvara or pura, trout, veal or lamb under the sač, pies and zeljanica; in Montenegro kačamak and cicvara, smoked meats and pršut, potatoes in many forms, mountain cheese and honey.

Laguage Transportation

One “rally box” (example), per participant (pilot, copilot, support…) will be picker up from hotel lobby, every morning, and delivered to the lobby on the next hotel. Additionally, organizer will transfer 2 x motorcycle tires + 2 mouses per bike rider.
Rally box is not included but riders have to provide it and bring it to the first hotel. Boxes, though, can be rented from orga (50 eur/box) with prior notice to the organizer.

Safety and tracking devices

Safety and recovery teams are active on route. A tracker is mandatory on every vehicle, and we use an app so staff and riders can see each other in real time.

Briefings

Daily briefings are in the evening. We cover next day routing, weather, fuel windows, water points and any sensitive areas.

Good practice on the trail

Keep to track, respect livestock and shepherd dogs, slow for flocks, and please close fences behind you. Carry out all waste. Be polite with locals. A simple greeting and thanks go a long way.

If this matches your expectations, bring a prepared vehicle, the right clothing and a good attitude. We handle routing, hotels, food, safety and the tools that keep the group connected while you enjoy the Dinaric mountains.
