This tour is perfect for very fit hikers who look for an extraordinary adventure and are eager to explore the Albanian Alps/Prokletije Mountains of Albania, Montenegro and Kosovo in depth.
This transnational tour discovers one of the remotest and wildest mountainous regions of the Western Balkans. With its variety of awe-inspiring landscapes of sheer cliffs and green valleys, picturesque traditional villages and crystal-clear mountain lakes, this is a true “hidden treasure” for hikers and nature lovers.
The itinerary covers the traditional villages of the northernmost Albanian region Kelmend, from where we cross into Montenegro to stand in awe to the sheer rock cliffs of the Prokletije Mountains around Grbaja.
After taking in the views of
Lake Plav from Mt Visitor, we are ready to make our way through Ropojana valley and the heart of the
Accursed Mountains to the beautiful valleys of
Theth and
Valbona, our luggage being carried for us by horses. From here we approach the border triangle into an area completely unspoiled by tourists. From
Doberdol we have the opportunity to climb
Gjeravica, Kosovo’s highest mountain, before we descend into Montenegrin
Babino Polje, passing the stunning
Lake Hrid, and finish the “Peaks of the Balkans” trail in a shepherds’ village in Kosovo.

“Peaks of the Balkans” Highlights
- discovering secluded destinations that most tourists never get to see
