Our journey to the alps starts early in the morning, from a centrally located meeting point in Tirana. We will start the day with the hike to Ndërlysaj. The glacier mills of Ndërlysa offer a unique spectacle of nature: The water of the Black River squeezes through a narrow approach that has arisen over the millennia. We will hike to the “Blue Eye of Kaprre”, a spellbinding natural pool with amazingly blue water in a jungle-like environment. After a short break, we will hike back to Ndërlysa, where lunch is planned. Then, the hike continues towards the waterfall and gorge of Grunas. The canyon is 30m high and one meter wide, and the waterfall is a Nature Monument. Shortly before arriving in Theth, we will stop for a visit of the Isolation tower. During the visit you will become acquainted with the “Kanun” and its regulations. It is not just a set of laws, but a way of life, a totally new reality worth to be explored. Dinner and accommodation in the guesthouse in Theth.
The price includes:
• Lunch

• Accommodation in a guesthouse in Theth

Today’s hiking starts right after breakfast from the guesthouse. The ascent is initially soft and runs through the woods, then becomes steeper and continues on scree to the Pass of Valbonë. From the height of 1812 meters above sea level, the view over the valleys of Valbonë and Theth is unique. The descent towards Valbonë is initially craggy, getting softer as we approach the valley. We will walk through the valley of Valbonë up to the village where dinner and accommodation in a guesthouse are provided.
The price includes:
• Breakfast
• Packed Lunch
• Dinner
• Accommodation in a guesthouse in Valbonë

Those of you who would like to hike a bit more, will have an early breakfast today. Then, we will start hiking a well-maintained trail to the hills above the valley. Today you will not gain a lot of altitude, but the views will be amazing none the less. After reaching the highest point of the trail, you will descend at first towards “Kukaj”, and then down to the guesthouse in the valley.
Then starts the transfer to Fierzë, where our ferry ride begins. The ferry ride across Lake Koman allows some spectacular scenery, not unlike a Norwegian fjord winding its way between high cliffs and towering peaks. We will leave the ferry in Koman, from where the trip continues by car to Tirana. If you have a flight leaving TIA Airport later than 23:00 on this day, we can drop you off directly at the airport.
Our journey ends at a centrally located drop off point in the capital.
