    Amazing Hiking in the Sharr Mountains
    We went for a two day hiking tour in the Sharr Mountains with Meto. He was a great guide, really knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel so welcome on our first visit to Kosovo and Macedonia! Our trip was brilliant, so well organised and with great quality kit provided for us. We wild camped through some heavy rain showers and stayed warm and comfortable inside our tent! Meto had lots of alternative options ready for when the weather wasn't going our way which ensured that regardless of the weather we would have the outdoor adventure we were hoping for! We hiked 3 peaks across the 2 days and absolutely loved the whole experience. This trip was even better than I had hoped it would be and would recommend it to anyone looking to explore the Sharr Mountains. Thank you Meto!

    Mt Korab
    I hiked up Mt Korab with Meto my fantastic guide. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe and comfortable hiking the highest peak in both North Macedonia and Albania. After I sent Sharoutdoors an email about my wish to hike Mt Korab, I was able to make further contact with Meto through WhatsApp. He was very professional in his approach. He picked me up outside my hostel in Skopje and dropped me off later that evening to the hostel in Skopje. He ensured that I had time to stop at a shop for snacks and water for the hike. We later shared a meal after we finished the hike close by to the national park. Meto recommended many tasty foods on the menu. He has a great camera on his phone and kindly took photos for me which he sent to me that day. I enjoyed our conversations. I had such a wonderful day on the mountains. This was definitely a big highlight of my time spent in North Macedonia. I would highly recommend Meto as a guide. I will definitely contact Sharoutdoors for further outdoor activities when I return.

    A day to remember!
    We went on a 25km tour with Sharoutdoors and I can't recommend the team more! First off they explained everything that we need to know and all the tour options before even we decided to go. All of the team members are welcoming and nice, as well as the people who work in the hotel where the tours start from. The bikes are pro and it's really easy to ride them and it's adapted for different fitness level. I'm definitely trying another tour soon! Keep up the good work guys! 😊

    Climbing in Demir Kapija
    I had an amazing day of climbing in Demir Kapija with Ivan and Danko. They both quickly recognized my climbing abilities and accurately suggested routes that would match my style and grade. After a full day of climbing they took me out to a restaurant for food and drinks and gave me plenty of tips for traveling in the rest of Macedonia. Thanks to them I was able to on site a 6B on sport lead!

    E-MTB
    If you are looking for an adventure, unforgettable expwrience and want to connect with the nature then e-MTB on Sar Mountain is a MUST! Magnificent Sar Mountain is true paradise for e-MTB, offering wonderful views and idyllic routes by exploring scenic spots. The regional bike-experts will not only acommpany you on the tour, but also give you useful tips about riding techniques and info about the region. All along the tour you will feel safe as they are well equipped with radio atation, first aid, energy bars and even they will offer you sunscreen milk 😎. Also they are well equipped with knowledge about the region, tons of patience and good sense of humour. With the latest e-bike models, the guided tour becomes a true highlight. I still admire their passion!

    "I highly recommend the SharOutdoors team and visiting Macedonia. We have spent quality time sightseeing Skopje's center and
 the old city bazaar and Ohrid city with it's amazing authentinc infrastructure and unique views to the Ohrid lake. 
We have hiked to some of the most amazing mountain peaks in the country in two national parks Mavrovo and Galicica.
Ivan who was our guide, took care of us to feel comfortable and pleasant. The food has been delicious and the people are friendly. Highly recommended."

    Unforgettable hikes
    Macedonia is an undiscovered gem. Exploring it with SharOutdoors and Meto Chillimanov was an exceptional experience. Meto and his SharOutdoors colleagues love Macedonia/the Balkans, nature, their work and people. And such combination is amazing! Meto showed us the best Macedonia can offer during our seven-day stay (dedicated mostly to hiking in various Macedonian mountain ranges) – epic nature, beautiful empty mountains, historic sites, local places that only locals know about, so delicious food & wine, and wonderful people. Meto’s energy, sense of humor and smile are infectious. To me SharOutdoors is a synonymous of both full professionalism, thinking about safety, accommodating your needs and fun, passion, wilderness and chillout (as befits Meto’s surname). Everything was perfect and even some unexpected rainy days did not ruin our plans. Some of the best moments in my life.  Many thanks! Highly recommended. Expect unexpected.

    Great Experience
    Visiting Macedonia for a trekking experience turned out to be a great adventure! Meto is a professional trekking guide and also a tourist guide. Throughout the treks was very supportive and adaptable for our requests. On days off trek he showed us around Macedonia giving us history of the place. He knows the mountains and his country very well, he showed us the best places, making our trip one to remember! I highly recommend him!

Had a great time catskiing with Shar Outdoors. Helpful and knowledgeable guides with phenomenal terrain. Coming from Colorado, wasn’t sure what to expect from the skiing, but definitely some of my best days on the slopes. If you’re looking for some adventurous skiing at a good price, this is the place to go. Couldn’t recommend it more.

I did a week of Catskiing in the Area of Popova Shapka. The area is really vast and the guides will always find the best conditions no matter the conditions. I had six days of skiing and we got to ski everyday fresh lines. The guides really try to make the best out of your stay, not just when skiing, but also they are always up for joining you at dinner or for drinking. The food at the Hotel Scardus is also great. I can really recommend it and would for sure do it again!

My wife and I never knew about Macedonia until we were invited to attend a wedding. Being avid hikers, we researched where we could build in a hike into our trip and found SharOutdoors and our guide Meto. We started our tour learning about the city of Skopje and all of its history before heading to Popova Sapka in the Shar mountains, just west of Tetovo. Our accommodations and hotel service was amazing at the Hotel Scardus and it was a great place to rest before and after our first hike to the peak. The views were beautiful! Our second hike took us to the Mavrovo National Park with its beautiful mountains and amazing food at Hotel Tutto in Janche. There we hiked to the summit of Peak Medenica that is the highest peak on Bistra mountain. From there we hiked down to the village of Galichnik and had lunch and took a picture with the two only inhabitants living in this village year long. After our hike, we visited and had dinner at the St. John the Baptist monastery. The next leg of our tour took us to Ohrid for a night on the town beside the beautiful lake before our hike in the morning on Yablanica Mountain to the peak Crn Kamen. Our last hike was then in Galichica National park to Magaro peak, followed by lunch in Vevchani before heading back to Tetovo for the wedding. IMPORTANT NOTE: A point must be made that this hiking tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Meto, was not only a guide on the trails, but was extremely knowledgeable about the archeological sites, churches, mosques, villages and regions we visited. It was like having your own personal National Geographic tour guide take you through Macedonia. We learned more about the country than those that invited us to the wedding knew. Meto truly is an amazing guide and SharOutdoors is an amazing company. Because of our experience, we would definitely visit this part of the world again and use their services as well. Highly recommended!

Thank you for your wonderful comments Dr. Ray! 🙏 We really love hearing stories where visitors had wonderful time in Macedonia and learned a lot about our culture, nature and history! That's the whole point why we started this company. To offer experiences like you had! You and your wife are always welcomed back. Best Regards from Meto!

We have been to Popovs Shapka for 1 week beginning of February! We were very lucky with the snow! 4 days Catskiing, 1 day individuelle, 1 day touring! Organisation was super easy with the contact person! We stayed in the 4 star Hotel Scardus, it is directly next to the starting point of the cat! The transfer from the Airport to the resort was also organised. We started catskiing at around 8:30 every day and headed back to the Hotel when the sun was going down, around 4-4:30p.m..
Guides were super cool and relaxed, spotted for the best snow and always checked for the safety of the group. We mostly started with some warm-up runs before heading to the more „difficult“ Terrain. A good average skier with some Freeride Knowledge can ski everything in Popova Shapka. I can recommend this experience to everyone.
Lunch was in or around the cat. The Hotel provided lunch packs with sandwiches, fruits and some sweets. Also there was enough water in the cat!
We will definitely go back to Popova Shapka with Sharoutdoors!

The Shar Mountains are fantastic and Sharoutdoors made the stay perfect. I went there for snowboarding on my own, but it was easy to find company:) I spent some days in Popova Shapka, but also in the Bogovinje Mountain Hut, which is located in the picturesque remote mountain area and offers even more opportunities for snowboarding. Although it was the end of the season, the team always found good spots with the best snow conditions. Thank you very much, you are awesome:)!
