About Zlatibor
Zlatibor’s mountain landscape, ski slopes and Gold Gondola define a Serbian highland retreat in western Serbia, with nature and family outings at its center.
The Gold Gondola links Zlatibor Center with Tornik, while Stopića Cave and Sirogojno Old Village bring natural and cultural highlights within reach. July and August suit hiking and outdoor days, and Zlatibor Center places shops, restaurants and family attractions close at hand.
The atmosphere is serene and traditional, with families well served by Dino Park, easy walks and mountain air. Local plates often feature komplet lepinja, kajmak and pršuta.
