Self-Guided Hiking Tour: Theth, Valbona & Koman Lake in

Start & end in Tirana 5 days Up to 8

About this trip

This is a self-guided hike through some of Albania's most dramatic mountain country, taking in the villages of Theth and Valbona and the ferry ride across Koman Lake. You walk at your own pace, with the route and logistics worked out for you in advance.

Choose Balkans Team sets up the trip and briefs you on everything you need before you set off, but once you're on the trail it's just you covering the ground, staying in private rooms along the way.

It suits travellers who want the independence of planning their own days without having to sort out transfers, accommodation, or route-finding logistics from scratch.

What you'll do

  • Hike the classic Theth to Valbona pass through the Accursed Mountains
  • Explore Theth village and its surrounding valley
  • Walk the Valbona valley beneath its peaks
  • Cross Koman Lake by ferry, one of the region's more striking journeys
  • Overnight in private rooms rather than shared dorms
Good to know
  • Self-guided — you walk the route independently, with support and information provided by the local team before and during the trip
  • Suits travellers who want a private, flexible pace rather than a fixed group schedule
