Hiking holiday in Albania

This small, very mountainous country located north of Greece is very generous with relaxing attractions: a coastline wih a length of just under 400km awaits offering beautiful beaches at the Ionian Sea together with a rugged mountain world as an impressive contrast. Korab, the highest mountain, has a mighty altitude of 2764 metres. Generally vast areas of the mountain scenery are uninhabited, which means you get to enjoy an impressive quietness whilst hiking. The subtropical-Mediterranean climate with an average temperature of 16 degrees offers perfect hiking holiday conditions across Albania, whereby there is considerably more rainfall during winter than in the dry summer months. You will enjoy a particularly historic charm along the tours through the impressive gorges of the Balkan.

This is where the renowned Karl May movies were shot, so you can imagine what awaits in Albania as far as scenery is concerned. Enjoy a unique ambience hiking along caravan routes in the valley, which carry everyday life far away into the distance. In the quaint mountain villages you will in parts feel like in the middle of a fairy tale and be surprised by the residents’ hospitality. A worthy finale of your hiking holiday in the North-Albanian Alps awaits at the end with the lively capital of Tirana. Especially the contrast from the previous daily tours will leave you with lasting memories. And this is the stuff you cannot get enough of on a dream holiday!
