Shovel and winch are my best friends
Forget traditional celebrations and kick off 2027 out on the trails! We’ve prepared a 3-day winter overland adventure combining hotel comfort in the heart of Gorski Kotar, rugged snow-covered mountain forests, and spectacular Mediterranean views
The journey starts on New Year's Eve with a meetup and dinner in Delnice, where we’ll ring in the New Year in a relaxed hotel atmosphere. We open the first day of the year with a lighter warm-up drive through winter scenery toward Begovo Razdolje and Jasensko, pushing all the way to the abandoned facilities of the former Croatian Olympic Center under Mount Bjelolasica, before heading back through forest tracks to the warmth of our base.
A true winter test awaits us on the second day as we set off toward Platak and the high plateau of Gumance. This is an area where deep snow, clearing drifts, and testing recovery gear are almost guaranteed. On the final day, we tackle a blend of karst terrain and western slopes—crossing Mrkoplje and Begovo Razdolje to break out onto the panoramic route "Eyes of Vinodol." With open views of the Kvarner Bay and surrounding islands, we’ll wrap up the adventure at a point that offers everyone a quick and easy connection to main highways for the journey home.
Note: Routes are strictly subject to change based on trail conditions. Since we are driving high in the mountains where snowdrifts dictate the pace, our main motto remains: Shovel is my best friend! In case of a lack of snow, the drive transitions into a scenic winter overland tour.
