Tour description
Embark on an unforgettable adventure to explore one of the remote and wild regions of the Western Balkans!Peaks of the Balkans is the transnational trail that passes through one of the remote and wild mountain regions of the Western Balkans. Along shepherd paths and footpaths, the trail runs through the Alpine mountains at an altitude of up to 2300 meters. Just twenty years ago, this region was almost inaccessible to visitors, making trekking through the mountains of Albania, Kosovo, and Montenegro a true cultural experience and adventure! We will explore the beautiful Valbona valley, swim in the secluded Gridsko Lake, climb the highest peak of Kosova - Gjeravica, and visit the "Albanian fjords" - the spectacular Komani Lake!
