180 metres of cable and 90 metres of height gain on the white cliffs of Trebević, directly above the city. Fifteen minutes to walk in, roughly 45 minutes climbing, graded B/C. The line starts in beech forest and comes out onto open limestone, so you get shade for the first half and Sarajevo's rooftops below you for the second.

Runs April-October

Our easiest ferrata: 105 metres of cable and 70 metres of height gain in the forest of Skakavac Nature Park, mostly in shade. Graded B, about half an hour on the cable, with room to learn clipping before anyone is waiting behind you. If it is your first time on a cable, start here. Add the walk to the 98-metre Skakavac waterfall if you want a longer day.

Runs April-October

350 metres of cable and 160 metres of height gain on Romanija's limestone, about 28 kilometres east of Sarajevo. Twenty minutes to walk in, then roughly 90 minutes climbing, with cable bridges over ravines deep enough that you stop looking down. Graded B/C and the hardest of our Sarajevo-side routes, so do Bukovik or Trebević first if you have not clipped a cable before.

One of the most dramatic via ferratas in the Balkans, reached in a way few others are: by kayak. After a 20-minute paddle across the emerald-green Grabovica Lake on the Neretva, you climb a 250-metre Grade D route up steep cliffs at the foot of Prenj, high above the river canyon. It's serious vertical terrain built for experienced climbers, but with a guide it's open to adventurous first-timers with a strong head for heights. The descent follows a marked trail past a viewpoint above Glogošnica.

Runs April-October

200 metres of cable and 80 metres of height gain on the wall above Fortica fortress, ten minutes from the road. Graded A/B and about half an hour of climbing, with the Old Bridge in view for most of it. There is a swinging bridge partway up, and the route finishes near the glass-floored Skywalk deck. Two hours door to door from the centre of Mostar.

Runs year-round, weather permitting

600 metres of cable and 350 metres of height gain on Hum, the hill directly above Mostar, broken up by three suspension bridges. It is the longest route in the city and the one with the widest view over the Neretva valley and the Old Bridge. The route carries no published grade; we rate it B/C from guiding it. Sustained but never desperate, which makes it a good second ferrata or an ambitious first one.

Runs year-round, weather permitting

A full day on the Neretva starting from Konjic. The water is green and cold, and the rapids are Class II to III, which is enough to get you paddling hard in places without any of it being technical. In between there are long flat stretches where the canyon walls close in and you can stop paddling and look up. You pass under old Ottoman stone bridges on the way down, and there is time to swim where the river pools. A licensed skipper runs each raft. Lunch afterwards is a traditional Bosnian meal at a restaurant by the water.

The Bijela cuts a narrow limestone canyon at the foot of Prenj, and the only sensible way through it is to get wet. You work downstream about three kilometres: sliding down water-polished rock, jumping into pools where the water turns turquoise, rappelling the waterfalls that are too high to jump, and swimming the sections where the walls come in close enough to touch both sides. The water stays cold all summer, which is the point in July. Wetsuit and technical gear are provided.

Runs May-September

Trebević is Sarajevo's home mountain, straight up from the city, and its forest trails run past what is left of the 1984 Winter Olympics. You walk the bobsled track, now covered in graffiti and slowly going back to the trees, then climb to the viewpoints where the whole valley opens up below with its minarets and church towers.

Runs April-November

A custom quad ride around Sarajevo that goes wherever your group wants to take it. Head up to Igman, push on toward the highlands and the old village of Lukomir, or keep it to a shorter loop on the forest roads outside the city. The start point is yours to pick too. With three or four quads we bring the machines to wherever you want to ride. Take one of our guides along, or head out on your own once you have had the briefing.

Runs May-October

Tell us what kind of day you want and we build the route around it. Our guides know the terrain well enough to match a hike to your fitness, your interests and the hours you actually have. That might be a hard summit, an easy walk up a valley, or a day that takes in a village and a long lunch. This is the option to pick if you have something specific in mind, or if you have hiked here before and want to go somewhere new.

Runs year-round

Skakavac is the tallest waterfall in Bosnia and Herzegovina at 98 metres, and it sits in forest 12 kilometres from Sarajevo. The walk in is easy and mostly shaded, which makes this a good option on a hot day. Transport from Sarajevo is included, and the day is unhurried enough to sit at the falls for a while and still add a longer loop through the nature park.

Runs April-November

Istup is where the Svilica drops over 200 metres in a series of falls, and almost nobody is there. Getting to it is a full day: hiking in across dry Herzegovinian hillside, then tracing the river itself, scrambling over rock, swimming the deeper sections, and jumping from the ledges into the pools if you want to. The route passes through a couple of old villages on the way.

Runs April-October

500 metres of cable above Blagaj with about 150 metres of height gain, ten minutes from the road. Graded A/B: it traverses sideways more than it climbs, which keeps it technically easy for its length, around 45 minutes on the cable with a few steeper pitches. The Buna spring and the Dervish house are minutes away when you finish.

Runs year-round, weather permitting

Two days and a night out, with the camp set up somewhere there is no light from the valley. We bring the tents, sleeping bags, mats and cooking gear, so you travel light. Pick where you want to sleep: the highland meadows on Bjelašnica, one of the valleys under Prenj, or beside a mountain lake.
