Maja e Grebenit is a prominent peak that marks the border between the valleys of Lëpushë and Vermosh, offering wide views over 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 climbs northwest along a clear trail that cuts across the mountain’s lower slopes. 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.

While most hiking trails are signed, some markings may be unclear or difficult to see. Certain sections might not be well-marked, and poor weather can make navigation more challenging. Good navigation skills are necessary to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Hiking Time, Grade and Technical Difficulty:
Our tour descriptions give detailed information about terrain, technical difficulty, estimated activity times, ascent/descent in meters and distance in kilometres. We kindly ask you to read these very carefully and consider them while choosing your tour.

The estimated difficulty of hikes is given in the SAC scale, starting from T1 to T6. These grades are guidelines that must always be used in conjunction with your own experience, intuition and careful judgment. Explanations for the difficulty scale can be found here.

Estimated hiking times are given for each day. These times do vary according to the day’s weather conditions and your fitness levels. These times do not include times taken for meals and breaks. The hiking times are all calculated in accordance with the Albanian national standard for hiking trails, which is based on the Swiss Alpine Club adaptation of the DIN44366 standard.
