This tour is perfect for nature and culture lovers, and for travelers who want to experience the authentic rhythm of mountain life, among spectacular landscapes, local hospitality, and traditions.
What you'll experience
Day 1 – Koman Lake, Shala River, and Valbona
The day starts early with the departure from Shkodra at 6:45 am, heading north. You'll reach the picturesque Lake Koman, often compared to the Nordic fjords for its emerald waters and imposing mountain gorges.
You'll board a boat for a scenic cruise to the Shala River, where you'll have time to relax, swim, or simply enjoy the unspoiled nature. A traditional lunch is included.
In the afternoon, you'll continue your journey by boat and private transfer through breathtaking alpine scenery to the Valbona Valley. You'll stay in a typical mountain guesthouse and enjoy dinner with traditional local dishes in a warm and familiar atmosphere.
Day 2 – Hiking from Valbona to Theth
After breakfast, the group is transferred by 4x4 jeep from the Valbona guesthouse to the starting point of the trek.
This transfer is designed to avoid initial road sections and allow you to start the hike rested, focusing only on the most beautiful and scenic part of the Valbona–Theth trail.
From here, the real hiking begins. You'll cross alpine passes, high-altitude meadows, and spectacular panoramic viewpoints, accompanied by your local guide who will share stories and interesting facts about the area.
In Theth, you can experience the adrenaline of the zip line (optional activity for a fee), before reaching the guesthouse and enjoying a typical dinner immersed in the tranquility of the village.
Day 3 – Exploring Theth and heading back to Shkodra
On the morning of the third day, you'll be transferred by jeep from the guesthouse in Theth to Nderlysaj, the starting point of the path that leads to the Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër).
Again, the transfer is to reduce unnecessary fatigue and make the hike more pleasant and accessible, allowing you to fully enjoy the trail in nature.
From Nderlysaj, you'll start trekking towards the Blue Eye, crossing wooden bridges and stretches immersed in greenery.
After the trek, we'll take a short break, then head back for the transfer to Scutari, arriving around 2:00 p.m. Lunch will be waiting for you there, and you'll have the chance to say goodbye to the group, taking with you unforgettable memories of the Albanian Alps.
