Small and nice. We decided us for a group size of 12 participants. This enables us to better design of our tours and access even in places that are not suitable for larger groups. Such as remote villages, for example, which can only accommodate a limited number of beds.
Our guides are mountaineers, conservationists, photographers and more. So you are always safe and surrounded by passionate and knowledgeable society. We pride ourselves on the extensive first-hand knowledge and personal service that our team of experts can offer.You can be sure that you will be accompanied by the best local guides and companions who offer unparalleled local knowledge in aim to bring every place to life.
We stay in mid-range hotels, family-run guest houses and sometimes in mountain huts.
The hotels are in the center of the cities, so that we can stroll through the streets after dinner. All rooms are comfortably furnished and have a bathroom. The guest houses are typical buildings for the country and lovely furnished by the hosts. The rooms and the bathroom are shared by 2 - 6 people. Mountain huts are simple accommodations in which 4 people or more sleep in one room. Sometimes you can also take a warm shower. It should also be mentioned that the standard does not correspond to that in the EU. But we think you don't travel to Albania to have the EU standard. In any case, we do our best to make you feel comfortable. Albanian hospitality will make it possible.
Hiking trails that connect large villages are good wide trails that can also be passed by pack animals.Nevertheless, you have to expect a lot of stones and gravel. It is therefore recommended to take an appropriate footwear with you. On alpine terrain, the paths are narrower and less well-trodden, and as a hiker you have to be free from giddiness, experienced on hiking and sure-footed. On some hikes there are also rarely used paths that have almost been recaptured by nature. Long pants are very helpful and protect you from scrubbing. Best with a zipper and removable legs. In spring there can still be residual snow that ensures cool temperatures. Warm clothing, t-shirts to change and rain protection are recommended to have with you.
