Itinerary
-
Journey deep into one of Europe's last true wilderness regions, where the rugged Prokletije Mountains stretch across Kosovo, Montenegro and northern Albania. This guided hike crosses borders and cultures, with each day revealing breathtaking scenery - from the high mountain passes like Jelenak (2,272m / 7,454ft), to remote valleys dotted with traditional villages. Along the way, enjoy warm Balkan hospitality in family-run guesthouses and enjoy authentic farmhouse meals. Follow in the footsteps of early travellers such as Edith Durham through the dramatic Theth Valley, visit Albania's tallest waterfall, and explore historic Shkodra overlooking Lake Skadar, the largest lake of the Balkan Peninsula. In Montenegro, walk to the UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor and discover the former royal capital of Cetinje. This is an ideal holiday for those seeking a challenging hiking and cultural immersion experience, in the company of a likeminded group and an expert mountain guide.
