VII Trophy Montenegro

About

The VI Trophy Montenegro is a mountain bike race testing racers in Montenegro's unforgiving mountains.

Part of the traditional “Gusinje Summer” festivities, this traditional Mountain Biking Race leads through the National Park Prokletije – the most unapproachable and the wildest mountain range on Balkan Peninsula, 1-2 August.

The mountains of Montenegro include some of the most rugged terrain in Europe. They average more than 2,000 metres (6,560 ft) in elevation. One of the country's notable peaks is Bobotov Kuk in the Durmitor mountains, which reaches a height of 2,522 metres (8,274 ft). The Montenegrin mountain ranges were among the most ice-eroded parts of the Balkan Peninsula during the last glacial period.
