Hiking in Wild Albania

Albania is a unique country and one of Europe's best-kept secrets. Here dramatic mountains with high peaks, deep valleys and wild untouched nature await exploration. After the fall of communism in 1991, the country opened up to visitors, and the welcoming population makes the trip even more memorable. This exciting trip goes to the Albanian Alps, also known as "The Accursed Mountains", with the well-known national parks Theth and Valbona. You visit remote regions where farming life is the same as it has been for centuries. The rugged landscape, history and culture have created a natural isolation through the ages – memories of old blood feuds and rich folklore still live on here.

You can choose between two itineraries: The one that includes Dobërdol goes the highest and is only suitable from June, as snow often remains at altitude before then. The other itinerary works well from May onwards. It is days 2-5 that differ.
