Maja Grebenit is a prominent peak that marks the border between the valleys of Lëpushë and Vermosh, offering wide views over the alpine terrain. This hike reveals open ridges, patches of alpine forest, and an increasingly panoramic horizon as you gain elevation. It’s a quiet approach through one of the greenest sections of the Kelmend region: not steep but still offering a strong sense of elevation and reward.

The hike begins from Lëpushë and immediately begins to climb northwest along a clear trail that cuts across the mountain’s lower slopes. Early on, the path passes through a mix of pastureland and light forest, offering partial shade and scattered views toward the valley below.
As the trail gains elevation, the terrain opens and the forest thins. The route becomes more panoramic, with the jagged ridges of the Accursed Mountains appearing to the south and southwest. The trail remains non-technical and gradually steepens, winding toward the high saddle that leads to the summit ridge.
Once at the ridge, the summit of Maja e Grebenit becomes clearly visible. A short final climb leads to the top, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views over the Vermosh Valley, the green slopes of Lëpushë, and the borderlands of Montenegro.
After taking in the view, the return follows the same path, descending gently back to the village.
