About this trip
Four days in the Albanian Alps, taking in Theth and Valbona National Parks with the famous Koman Lake ferry linking the two.
Expect a mix of proper mountain walking and slower stretches where you get to sit with the scenery and the local way of life. The ferry ride through the lake's gorges is as much a part of the trip as the hikes themselves.
This is a small-group, fully guided route through one of Albania's wildest corners, built for people who want their days outdoors and their evenings among mountain villages rather than resorts.
What you'll do
- Hike through Theth National Park
- Cross the mountains into Valbona Valley
- Take the ferry across Koman Lake through the Alps
- Stay in local guesthouses in the Albanian Alps
- Walk trails used by Alpine shepherd communities
- Serious hiking style — expect real mountain terrain, not gentle walks
- Fully guided throughout
- Suits families and groups comfortable with multi-day trekking
Worth it if you get a good guide and accept significant road time. Think twice if you need proper solo-traveller pricing or prefer hiking-heavy itineraries.
- Guides Ergi, Redon and Klei consistently went above and beyond, making difficult hikes manageable and memorable.
- Large chunks are travel days between locations rather than hiking; some reviewers found themselves bored waiting at hotels.
- Solo-traveller supplement of around 500 euros did not guarantee solo trips; others were added to your transportation after booking.
- Accommodation booking can be disorganised and pricing may vary by nationality; clarify room costs upfront before committing.
