About the tour

The Balkan Highlands is a 5-day motorcycle tour created for active, scenic riding. This journey takes you through the mountain regions of Montenegro, Albania, and Serbia — ideal for riders who prefer to avoid summer heat, skip busy roads, and enjoy endless mountain passes, serpentines, and quiet nature. It’s a perfect escape from the noise of big cities and a chance to immerse yourself in the wild, calm landscapes of the Balkans.

Your adventure starts and ends in Montenegro, leading you through some of the most beautiful national parks across all three countries. This tour is perfect for riders looking for a shorter yet dynamic getaway that blends Balkan culture, stunning roads, and a simpler “back-to-basics” lifestyle.

Be prepared for a ride with elevation changes up to 2010 meters, bringing a mix of landscapes and rapidly changing weather conditions. From dramatic coastal views to lush mountain terrain, every day offers a new and unforgettable perspective.
