Abstract

Tourism and mountaineering are world megatrends and mutually dependent and compatible activities. Mountaineering is organized sports activity and is an integral part of physical culture. Mountaineering activities are mostly related to trips outside the permanent place of residence and movement in nature, so these trips can be considered special forms of tourism. Beside sporting, aesthetic and health motives, hikers are encouraged by cultural, historical, anthropological and other motives. Mountaineering has a multiplier role in the development of tourism in a particular destination, whether it's about specific forms of tourism or the addition of a classic tourist offer. It consists of a whole set of different sports disciplines from recreational, through competitions to extreme. Mountaineering organizations take care of the construction and maintenance of hiking infrastructure, which is also a touristic one. Mountaineering organizations provide hiking guides and rescuers without which it is impossible to develop a quality offer of mountain tourism. This work discusses the contribution of mountaineering to the tourist valorization of montenegro mountain.
