4 Highest Peaks Of Albania

This is Albania at its most powerful.

Over 11 days, this expedition links the country’s most legendary summits into one ambitious alpine journey. From the dramatic north in Theth and Valbona, you’ll summit Jezerca (2,694 m) the highest peak of the Albanian Alps. After recovery and cultural immersion in Prizren and Radomira, the adventure continues to Mount Korab (2,764 m) the highest mountain in Albania.

The expedition then moves south toward Berat to climb the sacred Mount Tomorr (2,416 m), before finishing with the demanding ascent of Maja e Papingut (2,482 m) above the wild Vjosa Valley.

This is not a standard trekking program it is a full-country alpine challenge combining extreme ascents, cultural cities, and recovery days between major summits.

Designed for strong, experienced hikers ready to push their limits across Albania’s most iconic terrain.
