Ski area · Bjelasica and the Komovi · 1,750 m
Kolašin 1450
Our verdict
The older and smaller of the two Kolašin areas, on the same Bjelasica flank, with gentler terrain and a shorter lift system. It is the quieter option and the better one for learning.
The honest part
The two Kolašin areas are separate lift systems with a shared mountain and are constantly confused with each other online. This is the lower base of the two, and the reliability record here is the model’s reading at about 1,630 m.
When to come

When the snow lies
Kolašin 1450 is usually clear of a 30 cm base from May to Nov. Outside that window, plan for snow on the ground.
Across the record the ground came reliably under 5 cm around April 15 and went back under snow around December 2. Those are medians of eleven years, not a promise about this one.

The winters vary more than any average suggests. Across 10 winters Kolašin 1450 carried a 30 cm base for a median of 42 days: 0 in 2019 and 129 in 2020. Eleven winters is a record, not a climate, and nothing here is a trend.

| 2015–16 | 26 | 45 cm |

Temperatures are corrected to 1,634 m, the terrain height at the point we query; the summit is 1,750 m. Snow depth is not corrected — it is a grid cell about nine kilometres across, so read it as the massif rather than the summit.
That cell is shared with Kolašin 1600, so the snow depths on those pages are these same numbers. The temperatures are not shared — those are corrected to each summit.
