Take the cable car up Trebević & walk along the abandoned bob sleigh

Take the cable car up to Trebević. Covered in snow, the abandoned bobsleigh track with its graffiti is a real eye-catcher. You can either buy a two-way ticket and take the cable car back down or, if weather allows, hike down into the city along the old bobsleigh track and through Sarajevo's steep and narrow streets (ca. 7 kilometers).

.Cheyf: A life philosophy!

The first coffee at sunrise, standing on the summit and looking down into the valley, the clinking of glasses, an ice-cold white wine, and that is above all: a very personal and individual moment…
We are a small boutique travel agency that aims to create many of these small, beautiful moments on our trips. We believe that traveling mindfully, sustainably, and immersing yourself in the culture gives you a more captivating experience than simply checking off a list.

It’s time to define travel differently: With more focus on enjoying local fresh food, on the local community we work with, and on the beautiful, cultural differences that write the stories you tell your friends when you get home.

Our goal is that at the end of your trip, you’ll get off the plane back home and think, ‘Hey, that was an extraordinary experience!’

Thank you for booking with us.
