Individual mountain hiking in the Albanian Alps
Duration: 8 days+
Profile: nature
Activities: hiking
Travel period: June to September
The Albanians refer to the rugged mountain regions that close the land to the north as "incursed mountains". No wonder, because the wild landscape seems inaccessible and dismissive. Wild herbs and medicinal plants sprout on the mountain meadows, and shepherds roam with flocks of sheep. Wander through the Albanian Alps without being left completely on your own, with our customized hiking package. In the vicinity of the mountain villages Valbona and Thethi there are some marked hiking trails, and related information and maps. The accommodations are simple: old farmhouses that have been upcycled with the tourist necessities (toilet, shower). When changing your accommodation from Valbona to Theth, with the help of an accompanying horse, you do not have to carry your luggage on your own over the Valbona pass.
Preconditions: You should be experienced, sure-footed high mountain hikers & in good condition, because when crossing the Valbona Pass over 1,000 height meters are to be mastered!

Hiking week in Northern Albania
Duration: 8 days
Profile: nature
This hiking week in the Albanian Alps, organized as a group tour, complements our 15-day hiking & culture tour by one of the most beautiful hiking regions in northern Albania. We have good reasons to offer this Northern part independently. The access to the mountains takes more time, the steep passes are more demanding, and the standard of accommodation in the mountains is rather simple than comfortable. In short: less comfort, more wildlife.
