What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Albania
- Small Group Tour; Peaks of the Balkans – Theth, Valbona & Koman Lake
One of the best trips. This was an amazing tour- incredible scenery, friendly local people, mountain food such as cheese and home baked bread. We had such a pleasure hiking and climbing together. Our tour guide was extremely friendly and helpful. I will strongly recommend this tour.

It was one of the most beautiful trips that I have ever done . Thank you choose balkans for everythingggg . You guys are really the best staff ever and I definitely will come back in another adventure
- Hidden Valley Trek: Homestay Trekking & Southern Albania's Cultural Highlights (8 days)
Highly enjoyable trip with a strong sense of being well away from the more popular areas and seeing something of a hidden Albania. People were incredibly hospitable and the walking wasn't too strenuous. Highly recommended.
What our customers ask about Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Albania
What are the best hiking trails in Albania for different skill levels?
Albania's terrain accommodates hikers of all abilities with well-marked paths across its diverse landscape. Newcomers to hiking can start with the Blue Eye trail near Theth a 6-hour walk with gentle climbs totaling 700m. Those with more experience will find the Valbona Pass trek rewarding with its 1050m ascent over 6-8 hours. For seasoned hikers the Mount Korab route presents a robust 8.5-hour journey reaching 2764m. As one TourRadar traveler mentions "The hike was challenging but in the best way possible with our guides being knowledgeable and supportive through all the ups and downs."
What is the best time of year for hiking in Albania?
The hiking calendar in Albania peaks from June through September. The warmest conditions appear in July and August especially in northern regions like Theth and Valbona Valley. Those seeking moderate temperatures will find June and September more suitable for extended walks. Coastal paths including those in Llogara National Park are best explored during spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October). According to TourRadar travelers "September was perfect for hiking with pleasant temperatures and clear visibility of the stunning mountain landscapes."
Where do you stay during multi-day hikes in Albania?
The accommodation network spans from family homes to mountain shelters along hiking routes. Traditional Guest House Theth welcomes visitors with local hospitality while remote spots like Doberdol provide basic shepherd's shelters at 1800m. The Peaks of the Balkans route includes stays at established venues like Hotel Meridian in Shkoder and rustic lodges in Valbona Valley. As one TourRadar traveler notes: "The guesthouses were clean with plenty of food though bathroom facilities were basic. The hospitality of local hosts made up for any basic amenities."
What are the most popular hiking trails in Albania?
The signature routes include the path from Valbona to Theth through the Albanian Alps the cross-border Peaks of the Balkans trail and the coastal walks of Llogara National Park. Valbona Valley National Park features notable day hikes including the Kunji i Rragamit peak at 1868m offering valley panoramas. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The Valbona Pass hike was the absolute highlight - the views of both valleys from the top were breathtaking."
How accessible are the hiking trails from major cities?
The main hiking areas connect well with urban centers. From Shkodra a 3-hour drive leads to Theth National Park while Valbona Valley requires a mix of road and water transport. Coastal trails near Vlora including Llogara National Park take about 4 hours to reach from Tirana. As one TourRadar traveler mentions: "The journey to trailheads was part of the adventure with spectacular mountain roads and friendly local transport."
What cultural experiences can I expect while hiking in Albania?
The hiking paths thread through Albania's living cultural landscape. Theth offers visits to the Lock-in Tower which tells the story of the traditional Kanun law. Local families open their homes to hikers at places like the Valbona Valley Guesthouse serving traditional meals. In Doberdol visitors can observe the seasonal rhythm of shepherd life. One TourRadar reviewer mentioned: "The local food was home grown and fresh! The guesthouse owners really made us feel at home."
