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.

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.
