Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Tirana to Theth National Park

    After your hotel or airport pick-up in Tirana, you'll head north toward Shkoder. Once there, you can climb up to Rozafa Castle, which sits on a hilltop overlooking Lake Skadar and the rivers below. The views across the water and surrounding landscape are really worth the effort. From Shkoder, the route continues into the Albanian Alps and brings you to Theth National Park. You'll walk through the remote village and see the historic Lock Tower, a structure that's been part of the local culture for centuries.

  2. Day 2

    Theth National Park Hiking

    Today involves a moderate hike through Theth National Park covering 16.5km over 7 to 8 hours with 250m elevation gain. The trail takes you through wild alpine terrain with forests and rocky passages. If you'd rather skip some of the walking, there's a local bus option to Nderlysaj village that cuts down the hiking portion. Either way, you'll see the remote highlands that make this region special.

  3. Day 3

    Theth to Valbona Valley Hiking

    You'll follow a traditional shepherd's trail through forests with peaks rising above you. This moderate hike covers 16km and takes 6 to 7 hours, climbing to 1800m with 1160m elevation gain. Along the way, small local bars offer chances to rest and grab something to drink while taking in the high altitude views. By afternoon, you reach Valbona valley, a quiet spot where you can recover from the day's effort.

  4. Day 4

    Valbona Valley to Tirana

    After breakfast in the mountains, you'll travel down to Fierze and board a ferry heading along the Drin River to Komani Lake. The boat ride winds through the Albanian Alps with high peaks on either side and water reflecting the landscape around you. It's considered one of Southern Europe's memorable scenic routes. Once the ferry reaches Komani Lake, your driver will be waiting to take you back to Tirana, finishing your mountain adventure.

    Amazing tour to see off the beaten paths of Albania. I was part of a small group tour last September and I totally enjoyed the places we visit in South Albania. Our guide was very informative and he gave us a great introduction of Albania. Hotel choices and transportation were very comfortable. Totally recommended to travellers who like slow travel mode.

    It was a great trip, we got to see many different sides of Albania! We were lucky with our amazing guide. He had a lot of knowledge about the different areas of Berat and the Lagoon, and was overall a great guy. Great driver too! The national park was beautiful with many birds. Berat city was also beautiful, especially the castle and old town buildings. If you enjoy both nature and architecture, this trip is highly recommended!

    Great tour brought to life by our excellent tour guide gezim. Excellent variety of cultural sites and nature and outdoors. Saw the major sites but also the remote and less visited ones. Hotels generally excellent including some interesting family run businesses, though hotel in Tirana less good. Best time to book the tour is spring or autumn - relatively few people book in summer so our small group tour became a private tour, which was less good for us because we enjoy the company of fellow travellers.
