Summit · Bjelasica and the Komovi · 2,487 m
Kom Kučki
Our verdict
The Komovi are three summits that stand almost alone above the meadows between Andrijevica and Kolašin, and Kom Kučki is the highest of them at 2,487 m. The approach from the Štavna meadow is short, the final section is a scramble, and the isolation makes the view larger than the altitude.
The honest part
Three summits carry the name Kom — Kučki, Vasojevićki and Ljevorečki — and route descriptions online mix them up freely. The gravel road to Štavna is rough and there is no signal once you leave Andrijevica.
When to come
Late June to early October. The meadows below are grazed through the summer and the katuns are occupied.

Where these are
How far, and how much up
From the nearest place you can park, Kom Kučki is 4.36 km of walking and 974 m of climbing, starting at 1,777 m.

Measured along OpenStreetMap’s own path network from the nearest node you can drive to, with elevations from the Copernicus DEM sampled at a hundred points. Ascent is the total climb including the dips, not the difference between the two ends. A 90 m model smooths short steep steps, so treat it as a floor.
No walking time, on purpose. Distance and ascent are measurable; a pace belongs to the walker. Every “four to five hours” on the web is somebody’s guess wearing a number’s clothes.
The way up also loses 344 m, which a net figure would hide.
When the snow lies
Kom Kučki 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 17 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 Kom Kučki carried a 30 cm base for a median of 46 days: 0 in 2019 and 129 in 2020. Eleven winters is a record, not a climate, and nothing here is a trend.

Temperatures are corrected to 2,407 m, the terrain height at the point we query; the summit is 2,487 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.
