Make the Most of Durmitor, Whatever the Weather
Rainy day in Durmitor? You don't have to spend it waiting for the weather to change.
Rain, clouds and fog are part of mountain life — and sometimes they make Durmitor feel even more atmospheric.
Slow down, light the fireplace, spend some time in your private jacuzzi, warm up in the sauna, or head outside and discover a different side of Žabljak.
Here's how we'd spend a rainy day at PeaksView Chalets.
09:00 — A SLOW MORNING BY THE FIRE
Forget the alarm.
Make coffee, light the fireplace and have breakfast while the weather moves across the mountains outside.
There's no reason to rush into the day.
Stay warm, enjoy your chalet and decide later how much — or how little — you feel like doing.
10:30 — JACUZZI IN THE RAIN
Don't wait for the sun.
A private outdoor jacuzzi might actually be better when it's cold and raining.
Warm water, cool mountain air, mist around the mountains and the sound of rain on the terrace.
Stay for twenty minutes or lose track of time completely.
12:00 — GET OUT FOR A WHILE
See another side of Durmitor.
If the rain is light, put on a waterproof jacket and take a short walk around PeaksView Chalets and the surrounding countryside.
Or jump in the car and explore Žabljak and Durmitor without committing to a long hike.
Forests, mountain roads and viewpoints have a completely different atmosphere when the clouds come down.
And if the weather gets worse? Turn around and come home.
14:00 — A LONG LUNCH
Rainy days are made for taking your time over food.
Head into Žabljak for something warm and local, stop for coffee, or come back to your chalet and cook in your own kitchen.
There's no schedule to catch up with.
16:00 — Pool & Sauna
Warm up properly.
Head to the Peaksview SPA Area for your reserved session.
Take a swim in the heated pool, warm up in the sauna and spend some time in the relaxation area.
No need to save the SPA for the evening.
Cool, grey afternoons are some of the best times to enjoy it.
18:00 — BACK TO THE FIREPLACE
Warm chalet. Fireplace on. Nowhere else to be.
Come back from the SPA, change into something comfortable and light the fireplace again.
This is the part of a rainy day that doesn't need an activity.
Read. Take a nap. Put on a movie. Make tea or open a bottle of wine.
Or just sit by the fire and watch the rain outside.
18:30 — ONE MORE JACUZZI?
The answer is probably yes.
Step straight from your warm chalet onto the terrace and back into your private jacuzzi.
By now you've probably stopped caring whether it's raining.
That's the point.
20:00 — DINNER AT HOME
You can always head into Žabljak. But on a cold rainy evening, staying in has its advantages.
Cook dinner in your chalet, keep the fireplace going and make an evening of doing very little.
21:30 — FIREPLACE, MOVIE & NOTHING ELSE
Some evenings are better without another plan.
Dim the lights. Keep the fireplace on. Pick a movie, pour another drink and stay warm inside your chalet.
If the rain stops and the sky clears, step outside.
If it doesn't, you're already exactly where you need to be.
DON'T PLAN YOUR STAY AROUND PERFECT WEATHER
Weather changes quickly in the mountains.
That's why a good day in Durmitor shouldn't depend entirely on blue skies.
Go outside when you feel like it. Stay at PeaksView Chalets when you don't.
Light the fireplace. Get into the jacuzzi. Swim. Warm up in the sauna. Have a long lunch. Watch the clouds move through the mountains.
Sometimes the weather you didn't plan for creates the day you remember most.
