Albanian Alps – a stunning Alpine trails, without the crowds! The Albanian Alps offer an unspoilt wilderness of snow-capped peaks, gorges, lakes and dense forests, dotted with tiny stone-built hamlets that have changed little in years. Our trek takes us to protected Valbona National Park, home of inspiring scenery and adventurous trekking, where we explore the valleys and high alpine pastures. Our biggest challenge is the classic trail in this region – the high Valbona Pass, used for centuries to connect remote valleys lying among the jagged peaks of the dramatic Accursed Mountains. We round off our week with time in Shkodra and Tirana, adding cultural discovery to a week already packed with highlights.
