About this trip

Seven days of walking through the Accursed Mountains, the range shared by Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro, following trails that cross between the three countries several times without you needing a guide at your side.

This is remote territory — small villages, high passes, and long stretches where you are properly away from roads and towns. The landscapes shift as you move between borders, each valley feeling distinct from the last.

It suits people who want a proper trek rather than a scenic stroll, with the satisfaction of navigating a wild, cross-border route largely on your own.

What you'll do

  • Cross between Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro on foot multiple times
  • Walk through the Accursed Mountains range
  • Pass through remote villages far from towns or roads
  • Trek self-guided using route notes rather than a fixed group leader
Good to know
  • Self-guided — you follow the route independently, which suits confident, experienced walkers
  • Remote terrain with long stretches away from settlements, so a level of self-sufficiency is expected
  • Rated as a serious hike rather than an easy family walk, despite the family-friendly listing
