Great trip and a great tour leader. Loved it all.
I have one concern to share - prior to my trip I had contacted Outdoor Albania to see if I could borrow or rent hiking poles. They said they would make the arrangements and give them to my tour leader. This did not happen as promised. You need hiking poles on this trip - especially the section from Valbona to Theth. Fortunately it still worked out as a I was able to borrow a pole from another on the trip and also used a stick from the forest! I was disappointed that Outdoor Albania did not follow through as promised. Other than that it was a perfect week in a very beautiful part of the world.

Head deep into the Albanian Alps to hike a collection of the most scenic trails in what has been called ‘Europe’s last true wilderness’. Here, natural beauty dazzles at every turn − Alpine valleys, glacial lakes, soaring peaks – and we have plenty of time for culture too, including village stays and explorations of Tirana, Krujë, Berat, plus the Ottoman town of Pizren in Kosovo. If you’re looking for wild walks, cultural immersion, and plenty of tales to take home, this trip is for you.
