Ask about availabilityThe journey begins in the remote and timeless village of Theth, where stone houses and mountain silence set the tone for the adventure ahead. The trail gradually ascends through dense forests and alpine meadows before reaching the legendary Valbona Pass. From here, the landscape opens dramatically, revealing one of the most iconic views in the Balkans — a sweeping panorama over jagged peaks and deep valleys. The descent into Valbona Valley is equally spectacular, offering a mix of forest paths, open slopes, and traditional alpine scenery.
