10 reviewed
The pass into Theth is paved now and the valley is still half an hour from a phone signal. Below are the best Theth and Albanian Alps trips: single long days from Tirana, two and three-day versions with a guesthouse night, and the Valbona crossing. Check the season note on each one, because snow shuts the road.
A long, scenic day from Tirana to Shkoder, Theth village, and the Blue Eye, with a moderate hike, mountain views, and free admissions.
“This was an incredible tour. Theth is breathtaking. Henri was a great tour guide. He knew so much about the region and the culture.”
Hike Valbona to Theth, visit Koman Lake, and swim the icy Blue Eye of Theth on a 3-day small-group trek from Tirana.
“This was a great hiking tour - the main hike was truly incredible with amazing views and it was great learning more about Albania. The guest houses were comfortable and food delicious and generous portions. The tour ran very smoothly, we had an injury in our group and the guide went above and beyond to make sure they got back safely. Daniel, our guide, was a very interesting and knowledgable man and truly made the tour unique. I would recommend moderate fitness for the tour as main hike is tough, but well worth it, and you are required to carry your bags (so pack light!)”
