With today's global warming you never know what to expect. The trail from Theth to Valbona might be closed due to the snow. If in any case the trail is not doable, please be aware that we will never put you on risk so we will adjust the itinerary of only staying in Valbona instead.

Is this hike okay to do by solo? Is there other hikers end of October as well? Is the weather conditions mostly good end of October?

During October we have departures. Temperatures usually range from the mid-teens to low 20s Celsius, while nights can be cooler, often dropping to around 10°C. Rainfall can be more frequent as the month progresses, especially towards the end, so it's a good idea to be prepared for some wet weather. There are hikers during this period of time.

My companion and I have been fortunate to travel extensively and we both agreed Albania is one of our favorite destinations. This tour was a wonderful introduction to Albania and we enjoyed every aspect of it. Our guide, Elton, was excellent. He patiently answered all our questions and even shared locales that weren’t on the itinerary. His commentary made the trip interesting and informative. We highly recommend visiting Albania before it becomes overrun by tourists.
