The highest peak of Mount Vlašić is Paljenik at 1.943 m above sea level, while Vlašić plateau sits at 1.300 m. Positioned in the heart of the country, at a crossroads of travel routes, Vlašić - Babanovac has become an important crossroads and a destination for both winter and summer activities.

Mount Devecani (1760m) and Mount Galica with their numerous well marked routes are attractive targets for mountaineers. On the Babanovac (1260m) which is linked to Travnik by a 20km macadam road, there used to be a well known centre of winter sports with 6 ski lifts, 15 km of cross-country skiing trails and 4 ski jumps.

Geographic position, relief dissection, and geological history give its flora a special and peculiar attributes. According to catalogues of BH herbarium at the Sarajevo National Museum, Vlašić is home to many endemic species, including very endangered plants. A distinctive characteristic of the Vlašić flora is its age, or the existence of very old, relict species that have survived due to favorable conditions, from ancient times of diluvial glaciations until the present.

Mount Vlašić is known for the breeding of “tornjak“, a native dog breed registered on 9 May 1981 as a "shepherd dog of Bosnia and Herzegovina - tornjak". In addition to tornjak, the Vlašić cheese is one of the landmarks of the area.
