Departure from Albania
Discover two very different slopes: mountain pastures and beech woodland. At the pass, there’s a 360° view with the option of an additional ascent. You can use this route to walk just one way from Valbone to Theth or vice versa, as hikers usually do; they sometimes hire horses to carry their rucksacks. The hike is challenging if you do the round trip due to the distance, but presents no technical or route-related difficulties.

Departure from Albania
A beautiful mountain hike with stunning views of the two valleys and the mountains. It’s all uphill until you pass the peak, after which it’s all downhill (half dirt path, half rocky terrain). You might see cows, horses, and donkeys in the second half.

Route between Valbonë (Valbone) and Theth in Albania. A magnificent route that follows the Balkan Trail. The path is stony at the start in the riverbed but then becomes quite shaded. There are beautiful viewpoints all along the route and water at regular intervals to cool off, as well as a magnificent 360° view at the summit
