Overview
Šareni Pasovi (2248 m) (Štit) is one of most spectacular, unique and recognizable peak of DURMITOR mountain range. Šareni Pasovi with its attractive outlook attract the attention of many mountaineers, but just few of them decide to climb this beautiful peak. That's the reason why is today very difficult to find some photos on the Web taken from the summit of Šareni Pasovi.
Approach to Šareni Pasovi summit is possible only from its eastern side, from Mliječni Do basin. Of course, you can come here from Škrka Lakes Valley via Samar (2075 m) pass, from Sedlo (1907 m) pass via Surutka Valley, but the shortest, easiest and optimal approach is from Dobri Do valley via Urdeni Do and Mliječni Do.
