In a few words

Discover the highlights of the Albanian Alps in 3 days on an adventure combining sailing, hiking, and spectacular scenery between Tirana, Valbona, and Theth . This short but intense trip traverses some of the most beautiful landscapes in northern Albania, between wild valleys, mountain villages, and crystal-clear rivers.

From Tirana , the road leads to the spectacular Lake Koman , where a two-hour boat trip winds its way between steep, fjord-like mountains. After Fierza and the Bajram Curri region, the route follows the clear waters of the Valbona River to the heart of Valbona National Park , a peaceful setting surrounded by peaks.

The next day, it's time for the legendary Valbona – Theth hike , one of the most beautiful treks in the Balkans. The trail crosses forests, alpine pastures and panoramic mountain passes , offering remarkable views of the rugged peaks of the Albanian Alps before reaching the traditional village of Theth .

The final day reveals more natural wonders: the turquoise spring of the Blue Eye , the Grunas Canyon with its spectacular waterfall , and sweeping mountain views. The route continues through Bogë and then Shkodra , on the shores of its lake, before returning to Tirana .
