Fantastic hikes around Valbonë and Theth!
Please note, this is proper alpine hiking. A good level of fitness and agility is needed. There's a lot of altitude gain and some ascents are steep, but it's very much worth it.
Our guide, Ervin was terrific. He is full of local knowledge, and upon request was able to lead us on an additional 6km hike to see some of the bunkers near Theth, close to the border with Montenegro.
All accommodation and transport was sorted out, and was great quality. Our accommodation in Theth was in a renovated 19th century house, which was a very nice touch.
During one of the hikes, one of our members unfortunately suffered an injury. Choose Balkans were absolutely amazing and arranged alternative transport for her, so she could follow the group. Accidents will happen occasionally, and we could not have received more support from Choose Balkans.
Thank you very much.
