Hvor å gå på tur i Albania

Fottur i Albania betyr to veldig forskjellige verdener. I nord, de albanske Alpene, også kalt de forbannede fjellene, stiger opp til 2 694 m ved Maja Jezercë og skjuler dalen til Theth og Valbona, forbundet av Valbona-passet. Fjellkjeden strekker seg videre inn i Montenegro og Kosovo, som er grunnen til at Peaks of the Balkans-stien krysser tre land i en enkelt sløyfe.

I sør, fjellet Ceraunian faller rett ned i det joniske hav. Fra Llogara-passet ned forbi Himarë, er den albanske rivieraen en kjede av steinlandsbyer og småsteinstrender, knyttet sammen av og furuskog.

De to regionene har forskjellige sesonger: de høye fjellene fra juni til tidlig oktober, kysten om våren og høsten, når stiene er kjølige. I september kan du fotturere begge deler på en tur, og havet er fortsatt varmt.

Ofte stilte spørsmål

No. You walk without a group or a guide, with the route in our navigation app and the guidebook on your phone. Both work offline, so a weak signal on the trail is not a problem.

How a self-guided tour works, step by step.

Each tour page shows two ratings from 1 to 5: fitness, for how long and steep the days are, and technical, for how rough the ground is. Nothing in Albania needs ropes or scrambling, but mountain paths are rocky and loose near the passes.

Our Hiking Difficulty Guide explains the scale. Not sure which tour suits you? Ask us.

Yes. All nights on the tour are included, with breakfast and a private room: guesthouses in the mountain villages, hotels in towns and on the coast. A few remote stops on the Peaks of the Balkans are simpler.

Each tour page shows example stays, and the exact names come with your booking confirmation. Want an upgrade or an extra night? Let us know.

Breakfast is included every day. Lunch and dinner you pay on the spot, often in cash, and your guidebook lists where to eat at each stop.

Vegetarian is easy in Albania: byrek, beans, salads, cheese and eggs are on most tables. Vegan and gluten-free take more planning in small village kitchens, so tell us when you book and we pass it on to every place you stay.

Usually not. Between mountain villages there is often no road, so you carry your own pack, and 25 to 45 litres is enough. Where a tour keeps the same hotel for several nights, your bags stay in the room.

Yes. Tours start on the day that suits you within the season, and we can add nights before, during or after the tour. Tell us your dates and we check availability.

For July and August in the Albanian Alps, book in spring: the mountain villages have few rooms. The coast in spring and autumn usually has space a few weeks ahead. Travelling sooner? Ask us what is still free.
