Join us for an unforgettable hiking adventure in Albania's stunning Theth Valley! This trip will take you through rugged mountain landscapes, picturesque villages, and the serene beauty of the Albanian Alps. Perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers, this journey offers a mix of challenging trails and cultural experiences in one of Europe’s hidden gems. 

Day 1: Arrival and Transfer to Theth Valley

The trip begins with a direct flight to Tirana, followed by a scenic drive to the Theth Valley. After arriving and checking into a cosy guesthouse, you'll embark on a short hike to the stunning Blue Eye of Theth, a natural spring with vibrant turquoise waters. After exploring this tranquil spot, you'll return to the guesthouse to enjoy a traditional Albanian dinner with the group, settling in for the night surrounded by the serene beauty of the Albanian Alps.

Day 2: Hike to Maja Arapit

The day starts with an early breakfast to prepare for a demanding 19-kilometer hike to Maja Arapit, also known as the "Pyramid of the Balkans." Following a steady ascent through forests and meadows, you'll take a break for lunch with sweeping views of the valleys before continuing the climb. At the summit, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking 360-degree views of the Albanian Alps before beginning your return journey.

Length: 19 KM | Elevation gain: 1300m | Time: 7h

Evening back at the villa will be all about stretching out, good food, and sharing highlights from an unforgettable day.

Day 3: Hike to Qafa Boshit Pass

An early start to the day begins with a challenging hike toward Qafa Boshit Pass, a saddle located within the Albanian Alps. The trek takes you through rugged, rocky terrain, with a steady ascent that offers increasingly spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. You'll pause for a packed lunch at the pass, a key vantage point that offers a stunning perspective of the three valleys of Theth, Valbona, and Curraj i Epërm. After taking in the panoramic scenery, you will begin your return descent to the guesthouse.

Length: 18 KM | Elevation gain: 1300m | Time: 8h

We’ll return to the villa for a relaxed evening. Expect tired legs, full hearts, and lots of "wow, we actually did that" energy

Day 4: Hike from Theth to Valbona Pass

After a hearty breakfast, you'll embark on an iconic 15-kilometre hike from Theth to the Valbona Pass, one of Albania's most breathtaking trails. The ascent takes you through lush forests and over rocky paths to the summit, where you'll be rewarded with awe-inspiring views. A packed lunch at the pass is followed by a descent back to Theth Valley, traversing alpine meadows and winding paths.

Length: 13 KM | Elevation gain: 800m | Time: 6h

We’ll round off the day with a lovely group dinner either at the villa or a local spot—we’ll let the mood decide. Expect laughter, fresh food, and some great stories from the sea.

Day 5: Hike to Theth Waterfall, Beach Visit, and Return to Tirana

After a leisurely breakfast at the guesthouse in Theth, you'll embark on a short hike to the magnificent Theth Waterfall, a stunning cascade surrounded by lush nature. After spending time soaking in the beautiful scenery, you will return to the guesthouse to prepare for departure. The trip continues with a scenic transfer back towards Tirana, stopping for a visit to a beach on the way before arriving at Tirana International Airport in time for your flight back.

For this trip, you'll be staying in purpose-built mountain cabins that provide a truly immersive experience in the heart of the Accursed Mountains. These cabins are thoughtfully designed to offer a cosy and welcoming retreat after a full day of demanding hikes. Each one is equipped with all the essential comforts you'll need to recharge, from comfortable beds to private facilities, ensuring a well-deserved rest. Their location is unparalleled; they are ideally situated at the beginning of the most popular trails, allowing for an early start without a lengthy transfer. Yet, despite their proximity to the action, they are tucked away in a serene and peaceful setting, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the mountains, guaranteeing a tranquil night's sleep.
