Experience The Rugged Majesty Of The Albanian Alps On A Three Day Guided Expedition
The Albanian Alps represent one of the last truly wild frontiers in Europe, offering breathtaking vistas and untouched landscapes for adventurous travelers. This three day journey takes you deep into the heart of northern Albania, where jagged limestone peaks rise dramatically against the sky. By traversing these remote mountain passes, you will discover a region defined by its isolation, traditional mountain hospitality, and a profound connection to the natural world that remains largely unchanged by modern tourism.
Your exploration begins with the pristine wilderness of Theth National Park, a valley surrounded by towering mountains and crystal clear streams. Here, the traditional stone houses and the famous lock-in tower provide a glimpse into the historic customs of the highland tribes. The rugged terrain offers endless opportunities for hiking and photography, allowing you to capture the raw beauty of the Balkan landscape while breathing in the crisp, clean air of the high altitude environment.
Continuing the adventure, you will venture into the Valbona Valley, often referred to as the jewel of the Albanian Alps for its stunning scenery and lush meadows. The journey is punctuated by a scenic boat trip across the turquoise waters of Komani Lake, which winds through narrow canyons that resemble a Nordic fjord. This unique transit method provides a tranquil contrast to the strenuous mountain trekking, offering a moment of reflection amidst the sheer cliffs and deep blue waters.
This expedition is designed for those who seek to immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage and dramatic topography of northern Albania. By combining mountain trekking with serene lake navigation, the tour provides a comprehensive look at the diverse ecosystems of the region. Whether you are an avid hiker or a nature enthusiast, this three day trip promises an unforgettable encounter with the wild spirit of the Balkans, leaving you inspired by the sheer scale of nature.

Customer Reviews
From the moment I walked in the office and met Gin and then Davide they could not have been more kind, helpful and supportive. While I waited for better weather to hike in the Alps they recommended an Agrotourismo in Lekbibaj at Lulebore Guesthouse. It was an unforgettable experience with a lovely family that showed me authentic Albanian lifestyle while I helped on their farm and explored the surrounding area. The farm is perched high above Komani Lake with views of the mountains and river below. And the food was all freshly prepared from their farm. An unforgettable experience! Once I was able to begin my trek North Albanian Alps were able to provide updated information and support with alternative recommendations as I encountered an unseasonable snow storm. Davide in particular was generous with his time and assistance in guiding my decisions. Upon returning to Shkoder it was like returning to old friends and really enjoyable to share in my adventures with Gin and Davide. I highly recommend this company for exploring the North Albanian Alps! Thank you all so much!!!
We took the 3 day Alps tour which I can fully recommend as it provides for all the highlights of the region and combines bus, ship, hiking and extra activities very well. The accomodation in Valbona was basic but okay, the one in Teth I consider a 3 star hotel. Food was more than enough and Im known for eating a lot. The big hike on the 2nd day is the highlight. I think it is well managable even if you are not superfit (if so, consider hiking poles). We had members in our group with recently operated knees and they completed the hike too. The group will wait every now and then and we had an extra guide at the end who made sure nobody gets lost. And super convenient: for the needy an extra guide with a horse accompanied out group of 22 people which carried the luggage. A minus goes to the pre-communication (we didn’t book directly with North Albania Alps but with Berisha tough): we had the impression a small bus or guide will meet us at the meeting point but there was nobody. We were supposed to ask on the other side of the main street of Shkoder who might take us. No signs of our tour operator just a long row of half a dozen long travel coaches who just looked like something else. Till we found out it was too late but luckily we arranged a solution in another bus. Nevertheless a very cool trip and also the group with our guide Luiza were really cool. Thank you!
Ask for Luiza, you won't regret it. Despite this area experiencing an early season heatwave, every bit of this adventure was amazing. These towns are rural and historic. If you have done through-hike trips in the US, this would be comparable to parts of the Sierra Nevada or maybe the southern Rockies. The paths are rocky and often loose gravel and steep. The swimming holes are glacier melt and very cold (
