We’re thrilled to announce that registrations are now officially open for the highly anticipated HIGHLANDER Velebit event, set to take place from September 9th to 14th, 2025.
This year, adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers from around the globe converged on the breathtaking Velebit mountain range this past weekend for the HIGHLANDER Velebit event. Participants were treated to a visual feast as they traversed through lush forests, rocky ridges, and alpine meadows. Velebit provided a stunning backdrop with its unique karst formations and rich biodiversity. The trails snaked through ancient beech forests, offering breathtaking vistas of the Adriatic Sea in the distance, and led participants to the summit of some of the highest peaks in the region. The mountain showed its strength by not treating the participants to its usual 'HIGHLANDER friendly' weather and only the toughest of them became HIGHLANDERs. This served as a reminder to us all that even though admired, Velebit should also be respected.
