Located in the northernmost tip of Albania at 1000 meters above sea level, the village of Vermosh is surrounded by one of the most diverse and scenic landscapes in the Albanian Alps. The valley opens wide beneath gently rising mountains, with rich forest cover, alpine pastures, hidden caves, and streams fed by snowmelt. The Vermoshi River, which flows northward into Montenegro and eventually the Danube, adds to the region’s lushness. This relatively gentle but panoramic trail leads hikers through forested slopes and onto open highlands, culminating in expansive views from the summit of Maja Grebenit.

The hike begins in Vermosh and heads southwest on a gradually ascending path. The first part of the trail rises gently through pastures before entering the forest. As the trail gains altitude, the canopy opens occasionally to offer views back across the valley.
The trail remains clear and well-defined, winding steadily upward until it emerges into a wide alpine meadow, a scenic resting spot surrounded by silence and open views.
Reaching the top of Maja e Grebenit, you’re rewarded with panoramic vistas over the Vermosh Valley and the surrounding highlands, with layers of peaks stretching into both Albania and Montenegro.
The descent retraces the same path. It winds downhill, returning to the pastures above Vermosh and ultimately back to the village itself.
