– Soak in panoramic views from the 1812m Valbona Pass
– Follow a well-marked trail supported by our detailed guide app for confident and safe navigation

The trail on Valbona Pass is the only one that connects Theth with Valbona. From its highest altitude of 1812 meters above the sea level the view over the valleys of Valbonë and Theth is unique.
The trail can be performed departing from both sides.
On the Theth side the trail goes softly through forests and meadows, while in Valbona Valley it mainly follows the Valbona riverbed. As you gain altitude the trail from both sides becomes steeper and continues on scree.

The trail is generally well-marked and easy to follow, with visible signs along most of the route. However, there are a few junctions where the path can be confusing, especially in areas with multiple trail forks. For this reason, good navigation skills are important, and it’s essential to carefully follow the guidance provided in our app.
